The Maremma is one of the most beautiful areas in Tuscany, combining a crystalline sea, a highly changeable coastline (white beaches, rocks and inlets) with a hinterland enhanced by extremely varied landscapes.

Its natural beauty is so precious that the entire area is covered with nature parks, reserves, oasIs and protected areas including:

• Natural Park “Arcipelago Toscano”: created in  1996 the park  covers 18,000 land and 60,000  marine hectares, including the 7 islands belonging to the Tuscan Archipelagus, with Giannutri and the Isola del Giglio (the island of the Lily) accessible by ferry from Porto Santo Stefano.
• Natural Park “Maremma”: also known as the  Parco dell'Uccellina stretches over 9,800 hectares. To get there: from the state road Aurelia, exit at Alberese. The park is open all year round (except at Christmas and New Year).
• WWF Reserve Laguna di Orbetello
• State Natural Reserve "Dune Feniglia": after Orbetello go towards Monte Argentario, deviate left for Porto Ercole, then take a white dirt road to access the park and the splendid beaches of the Feniglia area. You can also enter on foot or by bike.
• Biogenetic Natural Reserve "Tomboli di Follonica": with stupendous beaches stretching along the Follonica Coast.
• Fauna Protection and ANPIL (managed together with the Scarlino town council) Padule and Costiere di Scarlino oasis: the oasis is near Puntone. Not far away is also the biogenetic nature reserve "Scarlino" (Poggio Ospedaletto), to the left overlooking the sea.
