💡 Tips

  • Principina is the gateway to the Maremma Park; walk south along the shore to find pristine, wild beaches.
  • The beach is exceptionally wide and shallow for a long distance, making it very safe for families.
  • Pay close attention to parking signs in the blue zones; fines are common during the summer months.
  • Pack a strong mosquito repellent, as the surrounding pinewoods and wetlands can be buggy at dusk.
  • Rent a bike to enjoy the flat cycle paths through the woods leading to Marina di Grosseto.
