The Toxic White Beaches of Rosignano Solvay – “The dazzling white sand of “Spiagge Bianche”, or “white beaches”, in the town of Rosignano Solvay, in southern Tuscany, has been luring tourists by the thousands for years. But this beautiful stretch of shoreline by the Tyrrhenian sea and its uncharacteristic Caribbean-look hides a dark secret that very few of the sunbathers and swimmers who flock to Spiagge Bianche every summer seem to be aware of.” Last week we swam on this amazing white beach near Livorno, Italy, wondering about the colour, making it look Caribbean… Turns out it was toxic sludge. No warning signs in sight.
