The road

Up the Aurelia, down to the bay.

From Vada you take the Variante Aurelia northbound, leave at Rosignano Marittimo and follow signs for Castiglioncello, then drive down to the bay. Nine point nine kilometres, sixteen minutes.

In summer plenty of people make this trip to change beach: the pale sand and the pinewood stay to the south, while here the coast is rocky and the bay is enclosed.

Why from Vada

The wedding starts on the beach.

People in Vada have the sea every day: for a wedding, what changes is the kind of coast. The Bay of Quercetano is a sheltered inlet, the terraces sit above the water and in the afternoon the light comes in from the side.

Guests leaving Vada have sixteen minutes of road: they arrive for the ceremony, stay for dinner, and nobody has to plan an early trip home.
