Laguna di Orbetello, State nature reserve in Orbetello, Italy.
The Orbetello Lagoon stretches across 1,500 hectares of marshland, separated from the sea by two land strips connected to Monte Argentario promontory.
The reserve area contains remnants of Etruscan settlements from the 4th century BC, including preserved sections of polygonal block walls.
The reserve functions as a World Wildlife Fund protected zone, supporting the preservation of numerous bird species and traditional fishing practices.
Visitors can access the lagoon through multiple entry points along Giannella and Feniglia beaches, with guided tours available from March through October.
The lagoon maintains a natural habitat for over 200 bird species, including pink flamingos, white herons, and black-winged stilts in their migration patterns.
