If you’re on holiday in Maremma, don’t miss a day at Marina di Grosseto. It’s a small resort much frequented by locals and Tuscans in general, who flock to its sandy beach by the thousands each summer. It’s an unpretentious place, far removed from the glamour of the region’s more celebrated destinations, but perhaps that’s precisely why it allows everyone to spend a few days in complete relaxation and peace.
At Marina di Grosseto, people come mainly to unwind on the lovely beach, to cool off in the pine forest and to enjoy the warm summer sun. Nevertheless, the resort is an excellent base for exploring the surrounding area, both the Maremma coast and the hinterland.
Founded in the late eighteenth century, Marina di Grosseto began attracting tourists when it was still called San Rocco, towards the end of the nineteenth century. Today, more than 100 years later, the resort has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag designation by FEEE, and in 2003 the marina was inaugurated, an event that signalled an important modernisation of the area.
The Marina di Grosseto beach is extremely long, stretching along the entire coastline of the resort. For most of its length it’s an immense public beach, with a lovely pine forest behind it, extending from the border with Castiglione della Pescaia to the north and reaching down to Principina a Mare to the south, and at the footpaths and access points to the sea, there are beach clubs where you can hire loungers and parasols.
Near the town centre, however, the beach is mostly equipped with facilities and, understandably, much busier.
The Marina di Grosseto beach, whilst appearing as one long stretch of sand from above, goes by different names depending on which section you’re in.
Tourists certainly don’t visit Marina di Grosseto for its churches or monuments. However, if you fancy taking a break from beach life for a moment, spend a few hours visiting the town’s churches, such as the Church of San Rocco, the Cristo Chapel and the Santo Stefano Chapel, or the San Rocco and Marze Forts, both privately owned though.
Then take a stroll up and down the seafront and head to the small marina, or San Rocco Port, where you’ll find the impressive memorial to those lost at sea, unveiled in 2013, in remembrance of the Koala crew who crashed on the Uccellina mountains on 12 October 2001.
Marina di Grosseto is a small resort with just over 2,000 inhabitants, and although it’s far busier in summer, it’s not exactly one of Tuscany’s nightlife hubs. However, thanks in part to the large influx of tourists, there’s always something to do.
There’s no shortage of places for an aperitif, on the seafront or right on the beach, as well as bars, restaurants and nightclubs for late-night fun, aimed mainly at a younger crowd. There are a few discotheques, such as Pineta Club, and Night Club Deniro, which are very popular in the area.
If you choose Marina di Grosseto for a weekend or a proper holiday, try to stay close to the sea, so you can leave your car parked at your accommodation during the day.
You can decide whether to stay near the town centre, or venture along the pine forest north or south of town, where you’ll find some excellent facilities and plenty of peace and quiet, especially at night, though you’ll need to take the car to go out. Conversely, staying in the centre means being within walking distance of services, but also being exposed to the noise and chaos found in all seaside resorts in summer, not to mention parking difficulties.
