The Natural Beauty of the Silver Coast
The Silver Coast offers a varied and breathtaking coastal landscape. Its long sandy beaches, interspersed with rugged cliffs and hidden ravines, create a postcard-perfect natural picture. The Mediterranean climate, characterized by warm summers and pleasant in-between seasons, makes this coast an ideal place to enjoy the sun and sea for much of the year. The biodiversity of this stretch of coastline is amazing: from nature reserves that are home to a variety of animal and plant species, to free beaches where nature and freedom meet, to stretches of shoreline equipped for those who want comfort and fun.
Talamone: Surfers’ Paradise
Talamone is the Silver Coast’s gem for water sports lovers. This resort, famous for its long beaches and shallow waters, is ideal for families and children who want to play safely in the water. But it is especially a paradise for surfers and kitesurfers, thanks to the constant wind that blows during the summer months, creating perfect conditions for these sports. With its clear waters and inviting beaches, Talamone is not only a destination for sportsmen, but also a place to relax and enjoy the unspoiled beauty of the Tuscan Maremma.
Orbetello: Immersion in History and Nature
Orbetello is an enchantment that combines history, culture and nature. Situated in the middle of its namesake lagoon, this small town boasts roots dating back to Etruscan and Roman times. With a quaint historic center, its walls dating back to the fifth century B.C. tell stories of bygone eras. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Spanish-era Forte delle Saline are just some of the historical gems this place has to offer. Orbetello is not only history, but also a natural oasis: the lagoon is a nature reserve of extraordinary beauty, a habitat for several species of birds and an ideal place for birdwatchers.
Mount Argentario: A Promontory of Rare Beauty
Mount Argentario stands majestically, a promontory that offers breathtaking views of the sea. Connected to the mainland by two strips of land, the Giannella and Feniglia tombolas, this place is a paradise for those who love nature and outdoor walks. Giannella is known for its sandy beaches and tourist services, while Feniglia enchants with its nature reserve and a road that can be walked or biked, ideal for nature lovers. The rocky coves of the promontory are a hidden treasure, offering corners of paradise for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
Capalbio: Between Culture and Nature
Capalbio is a pearl of the Silver Coast, a resort that offers a perfect mix of culture and nature. Known for its tranquil beaches such as the Chiarone beach, Capalbio is also a haven for those seeking a less touristy, more nature-driven experience, with places like Lake Burano and Lake San Floriano. This biodiversity-rich resort has been recognized for its efforts in environmental conservation. Its historic center, a Renaissance jewel, is rich in history and beauty. And for a unique experience, the Tarot Garden offers an immersion in an artistic and surreal world, inspired by Gaudi’s Guell Park and populated by colorful and monumental sculptures.
