Al Cartello, Beach resort in Orbetello, Italy
Al Cartello is a seaside resort in Orbetello where sandy shores meet calm Mediterranean waters for swimming and sunbathing. The beach is divided into free public sections and equipped areas with rental loungers and umbrellas available throughout the warmer months.
The area grew from an old fishing community that became a vacation destination after malaria was eradicated in the mid-1900s. This transformation from a struggling coastal settlement to a popular beach spot happened relatively quickly once the health threat was removed.
The beachfront restaurants serve regional dishes featuring freshly caught seafood and traditional Tuscan pasta prepared with local ingredients. These dining spots reflect how the sea has always shaped the food and daily routines of people living here.
The beach offers free parking and direct access to facilities including toilets and showers. Arriving early in the day gives you better choice of spots and fewer crowds around the shoreline.
The beach sits between two lagoons that have different water temperatures and conditions on each side. This unusual location lets visitors experience quite different swimming conditions within just a short walk.
