Cala di Forno – Migliano in Tuscany (Grosseto)

After a nice coffee, let's get started. Business comes first, pleasure comes second. The first of our top 10 most beautiful beaches in Maremma is a little Tuscan pearl, reachable only on foot. So let's set off light, but remember fresh water, an umbrella and some snack…strictly Tuscan! We start from Cala di Forno, immersed in the Maremma Natural Park.

They are about 2 hours of walking (12.8 km of trails that vary depending on the season), 2 hours in which you can make friends with some fox or some peregrine falcon, frequent in the area. But...finally, you will see this long beach of golden sand shining under the sun and a turquoise sea And crystalline.

In the air you will feel the scent of sea lilies and the Cala Forno tower will watch over your moments, giving you a breathtaking view for some Instagram Stories (if you feel like using the hashtag #tuscanypeople or tagging us @tucanypeople, we will obviously be grateful and deeply proud of it).

Marze Beach – Castiglion della Pescaia (Gr)

Looking for something more comfortable? The second of the 10 most beautiful beaches in Maremma is Spiaggia delle Marze, north of Marina di Grosseto. It is 6 km of sandA strip of paradise up to 100 meters wide and dotted with some natural dunes even more than 2 meters tall.

Mostly it is about free beach, much loved by summer and sea sports enthusiasts. Here, if you want, there's no need to bring a beach umbrella to hide from the blazing sun: the beach is surrounded almost like a shell by the Tombolo pine forest which provides refreshment and shade – and pine nuts – to all who desire it.

Cala Violina – Scarlino (Gr)

And, if you still feel like walking, let's go to Cala Violina, further north, near Follonica. A kilometre to walk in the middle of nature, cooled by the trees that cover the paths and the noises giving the impression of being on a desert island. And, in front of you, here is the white beachLet us walk, but in silence.

Do you hear that noise under your flip-flops? Here it is! the voice of the sea. This is why they call it Cala Violina: the noise of the sand when it is trampled on reminds us of the Paganini's violin And, just like him, these grains never repeat the same note. So...how about we run for a dip?

Le Rocchette Beach

If, between one dive and another, you want to fill your eyes and mind with some artistic beauties, the “Le Rocchette” beach just outside Castiglione della Pescaia, is the one for you. Not only does it combine fine white sand with all the shades of the sea, but not only do you find beach resorts, shops and restaurants...the protagonist is undoubtedly the Rocchette Fort.

Built in the 12th century by Cosimo I de' Medici as a watchtower against the Saracen pirates, in 1500 it became a real fort which had the task of protecting the Grand Duchy of TuscanyThe symbol of the Fort, 30 metres from the sea, is its truncated tower.

Sterpaia Park

Are you so insatiable that you want a very long beach to find the perfect spot to rest under the sun? Sterpaia Park, near Follonica, with its 10 km of coastline is right for you.

The wide dunes and golden beach offer a wonderfully Tuscan spectacle, complemented by the crystalline, impossibly blue water. The icing on the cake? The vast forest of centuries-old trees that gently surround the beach.

Alberese Beach

It's Alberese Beach, which can be reached with a cycle path which starts from the visitor center of the Maremma Natural Park which crosses meadows where Chianina cattle and wild horses graze.

The Feniglia and the Giannella

But did you know that among the most beautiful beaches in Maremma there are also two twins? We are talking about Feniglia and Giannella, the two strips of land that connect theArgentario to the mainland. Placed one in front of the other, they are approximately 8 km, but like all twins…they are different.

There Feniglia it is almost totally free beach, almost wild in some places. It will not be easy to find many people, but you will almost certainly be able to meet some deer. Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve; Giannella It's very cool, suitable for aperitifs And sailing sportsNothing is missing, your every wish will be fulfilled.

Women's Bathroom

But, if you are looking for something completely different, the Women's Bathroom of Talamone is for you. Its unique name is due to its history: during fascism, entry was permitted only for womenHidden in a small cove, it's a small, refined jewel. Beautiful and difficult, like women.

To dive into the water from almost tropical colors, in fact, you have to walk on rocks and stones, but once in the blue, you will finally feel like you are in paradise. Highly recommended for lovers of snorkeling, however, we advise you not to look only at the bottom of the sea: the narrow gravel tongue is Aldobrandeschi, with sighting and defense functions. A magical place also for the history of Italy: it was here that Joseph Garibaldi he landed to procure weapons during the Expedition of the Thousand.

Ansedonia

The penultimate gem of our journey through the most beautiful beaches in Maremma. Ansedonia, the initial part of the coastline that slopes down to Lazio. Here, between one dip and another, you can visit the Tagliata Etrusca, a very high engineering work which the ancient Romans built to optimize the ebb and flow of water from the port, so as to prevent it from silting up.

Not only that: does the Queen's Gap ring a bell? It's a natural crack in the rock, which served as the Tagliata until a landslide made it unusable. According to legend, moreover, a hidden treasure by Queen Ansedonia herself.

Capalbio

And, if you still haven't decided which of the most beautiful beaches in Maremma you want to go to, we suggest the 12 km of Capalbio beachThere are 6 km of free beach and 6 km equipped with every comfort. You can arrive by car and enjoy the cool of a rich vegetation which closes the beaches.
