The beaches of the Maremma

a sea that leaves its mark

The Grosseto Maremma has over 170 km of coastline, alternating golden beaches, hidden coves and crystal-clear waters, international recognition for water quality and sustainable land management. For years, many of our beaches have been awarded the Blue Flag, international recognition for water quality and sustainable land management. Each stretch of coastline has its own soul, between wild nature and equipped lidos perfect for relaxation and water sports.

Here are some of the most fascinating beaches to explore during your stay:
