The cleanest beaches in Italy- the seaside in Maremma, from Follonica to Monte Argentario

Transparent sea and beautiful beaches of Tuscany

The Maremma is bordered by a transparent sea along its long and multicoloured coastline of sunny beaches. The clear water of the Maremma coast holds first place as the cleanest in Italy. The 160 km of splendid coastline offer endless possibilities for enjoyment. High cliffs alternate with small isolated coves. Long stretches of sandy beaches providing all comforts are protected by lush pine forests.

The large and accessible sandy shore of the Gulf of Follonica includes coves such as Cala Martina and Cala Violina as well as the furnished beaches of Castiglione della Pescaia and Marina di Grosseto. It is the perfect setting for those who love the sea and nature but don't want to relinquish the comforts of cafés, restaurants and bathing establishments.

It's possible to charter sailing or motor yachts and rent wind-surf boards, enjoy water-skiing and underwater fishing. Sailing, motor boating and scuba diving schools are available for all levels. The highly professional diving centers offer the chance to discover and explore the animated and colourful sea bed.

The extraordinary promontory of Monte Argentario, with its small coves and bays, is considered by dedicated scuba divers to be one of most interesting zones in Italy for its abundance of fish and a sea-bed rich in coral and shells.

The Maremma coast has many facets: the mystical atmosphere of the Orbetello Lagoon and the golden, groomed beaches of the Feniglia and the Giannella not far from the Capalbio coast with lunar sand and wild, untouched dunes making it unique. The Islands of Giglio and Giannutri are rare jewels with rocky cliffs plummeting to the crystal-clear, emerald green sea and the scent of the Mediterranean scrub and aromatic herbs filling the air.

Fully equipped tourist ports such as Punta Ala, the fishing villages of Talamone, Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole on the slopes of the Argentario, reveal panoramic views over the coast and the islands and offer unforgettable sunsets spread across the sky.

Fortresses, citadels and towers clinging to the rocks create a vision of the time when these ancient ports, like those of Orbetello and Castiglione della Pescaia, were fortified. Today they offer a unique backdrop for those who "take to the sea" along a Mediterranean course.
