The surroundings of Castiglione della Pescaia offer beaches, nature reserves and small villages nestled in the Maremma landscape. Just a short journey is enough to enjoy different excursions during your holiday.
Rocchette beach – Camping Village Rocchette
Between Diaccia Botrona and Vetulonia
Just a short distance from Castiglione della Pescaia lies the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve, one of the most interesting natural areas in the region. Its wetlands and flat landscape offer the opportunity to discover a side of the Maremma that is very different from its coastline.
Heading further inland, you can reach Vetulonia, a village closely connected to the Etruscan history of the area. It is an ideal destination for a visit lasting a few hours and can easily be included in a day exploring the surroundings. Nature and archaeology provide two enjoyable alternatives to the beach without requiring long journeys.
Punta Ala and the coast to the north
Following the coastline northwards, you will reach Punta Ala, known for its marina, sea and landscape characterised by Mediterranean vegetation.
Between Castiglione della Pescaia and Punta Ala lies Le Rocchette beach, easily recognisable by its headland and the historic fort overlooking this stretch of coastline.
Continuing beyond Punta Ala, you can extend your itinerary to other coastal destinations. Visitors staying for several days can alternate beach visits with excursions into the countryside, without trying to fit too many stops into a single day.
Tirli, Buriano and the small villages of Maremma
The surroundings of Castiglione della Pescaia offer much more than seaside resorts. Heading inland, you will discover small villages such as Tirli and Buriano, where life moves at a different pace compared to the busier coastal areas.
These destinations are ideal for anyone wishing to spend a few hours away from the beach, strolling through village streets and squares while admiring the rolling hills of the Maremma countryside.
For longer excursions, you can continue towards other destinations in Maremma, planning your itinerary according to the time available. The diversity of the region makes it easy to move from the sea to the countryside and from natural landscapes to historic villages.
Choose Castiglione della Pescaia as your starting point
One of the advantages of staying in this area is the opportunity to organise different excursions while keeping the same accommodation as your base. From Camping Village Rocchette, you can easily alternate days at the beach with visits to Castiglione della Pescaia and the surrounding countryside.
Guests staying for a week can dedicate each day to a different experience: the beach, a traditional village, a nature reserve or another destination along the coast.
The different accommodation options, from camping pitches to bungalows, make Le Rocchette an ideal base for gradually discovering this part of Tuscany.
There is no need to travel long distances: one of the most appealing features of the surroundings of Castiglione della Pescaia is the opportunity to enjoy the sea, nature, history and charming small villages, all within the same area.
