Maremma Regional Park

Maremma Regional Park is a protected nature area along the Tuscan Mediterranean coast that extends between Principina a Mare and Talamone. The park combines dense forests, wetlands, and sandy beaches crossed by numerous trails and paths.

The park was established in 1975 as Tuscany's first protected area, marking a turning point for regional conservation. The site also preserves medieval watchtowers and remains of an 11th-century abbey scattered across its landscape.

Local Butteri cowboys work within the park using traditional cattle management methods passed down through generations. Their presence shapes the landscape and shows how people have lived alongside nature here.

The park offers multiple walking and biking routes with options to join guided tours of different kinds. Visitors can also go canoeing or horseback riding to explore different parts of the landscape in their preferred way.

The wetlands at the mouth of the Ombrone River host large populations of water birds including herons, flamingos, and rare fishing eagles. These waters make the area an important stop for migratory birds during their seasonal journeys.
