Maremma Italy Beaches

The Most Beautiful of Italian Beaches

Discover Maremma Italy beaches. Situated along the spectacular Ligurian and Tyrrhenian coasts amidst protected nature reserves and parks, they comprise some of the most beautiful of Italian beaches.

Walk for miles along white or black sands, or sit in a small cove straight out of a James Bond film with crystal clear waters and small fish in the shallows.

Immerse yourself in the warm Mediterranean waters and take a siesta in the cool shade of the pine trees of "le pineta" that form a green backdrop to the beaches.

Explore the rocky shores of the small coves and beachcomb with your youngsters... or play tag along the long sandy shores and wear them out for the great deep sleep that comes from seemingly endless summer days.

Maremma is a haven for beach lovers and there are over ninety of them to choose from...

Maremma in Tuscany Beaches
and
Maremma in Lazio Beaches

The Maremma is situated in the most south-western part of Tuscany, along the Italian coast with the Ligurian sea (the Mar Ligure) and the Tyrrhenian Sea (the Mar Tirenno). Her land also extends along the Alto Lazio coast into both the provinces of Viterbo and Rome in Lazio. In total, over 250 kilometres of beautiful coastline in Tuscany and Lazio

Whether you are looking for warm shallows perfect for young children, secluded coves reachable only by foot through thick Mediterranean macchia, or great surf along vast open stretches of beach, you will find them here. It is for good reason that the roads out of Firenze, Siena and Roma to Maremma are filled with weekenders on a Friday night, and similarly early evening on a Sunday heading in the opposite direction!
