Our Beaches
The Maremma is famous for its long sandy beaches, but it also hides lesser-known spots where the coastline changes from golden sands to rocky coves and secluded bays surrounded by unspoilt nature.
Here are four beaches that are well worth discovering.
1. Fertilia Beach and Bagno delle Donne: two sides of Talamone
• Fertilia Beach is a small bay of sand and pebbles surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation, perfect for those looking for a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
• Bagno delle Donne is one of the most photographed coves on the Talamone headland: a small inlet with crystal-clear waters framed by rocks, ideal for snorkelling and swimming in a stunning natural setting. A beach club with a bar and restaurant is also available.
These beaches are the perfect choice for anyone looking to combine relaxation, crystal-clear waters and breathtaking coastal views.
2. Osa Beach: dunes, pine forest and tranquillity
• Located between Fonteblanda and Talamone, Osa Beach is one of the quietest stretches of coastline in the Maremma.
• The landscape is characterised by natural dunes, Mediterranean scrub and a long stretch of golden sand, ideal for peaceful walks throughout the year.
• Thanks to its shallow waters and wide beach, it is especially popular with families and anyone looking to escape the busiest seaside resorts.
It’s the ideal destination for those who love authentic seaside landscapes and wide open spaces.
3. La Tagliata of Ansedonia: sea, history and nature
• La Tagliata Beach, in Ansedonia, takes its name from the ancient channel carved into the rock by the Etruscans to keep the harbour of the ancient city of Cosa accessible. This remarkable feat of ancient engineering can still be admired just a few steps from the sea.
• The beach alternates between sand and rocks, making it ideal for snorkelling or for spending a day combining swimming with archaeological discoveries.
• After a swim, it’s worth visiting the nearby Archaeological Park of Cosa, which offers free admission and allows visitors to explore the Roman forum, the ancient walls and the remains of the settlement overlooking the sea.
La Tagliata is the perfect destination for travellers who want to combine history, nature and spectacular coastal scenery.
4. Cala Cannone: a hidden cove worth discovering
Just beyond Bagno delle Donne lies Cala Cannone, one of Talamone’s best-kept secrets.
• It can be reached via a short footpath and a flight of steps leading down to this intimate little beach, making it feel even more secluded.
• The crystal-clear waters and rocky seabed make it an excellent spot for snorkelling, especially in the early morning when the cove is at its most peaceful.
It’s the perfect choice for anyone who enjoys discovering hidden corners away from the crowds.
Just a few kilometres apart, these beaches reveal the most authentic side of the Maremma coast, where every bay has its own character and every swim offers a different experience.
