Principina a Mare: Dunes, Pine Forest and Coast

Between Dunes, Pine Forest and Sea

Principina a Mare combines the coast of the Parco della Maremma with the expansive character of the Pineta Granducale di Grosseto. The town lies on the northern boundary of the Parco della Maremma and therefore in an area whose landscape is strongly shaped by the transition between beach, dunes and pine forest. For you, this means making a clear choice between a stay focused on the coast and accommodation from which you can explore a range of nature and activity experiences in the surrounding area. The coast of the Parco della Maremma stretches for 25 km from Principina a Mare to Talamone. Around Principina a Mare, it is characterized by sandy beaches with large dunes. This specific coastal landscape distinguishes the town from a purely urban destination and gives a stay a distinctly scenic focus. At the same time, Principina a Mare is located within the Pineta Granducale di Grosseto. The beach and pine forest are therefore among the most important points of reference when choosing your holiday destination here.
