Tombolo della Giannella, Coastal sandbar in Orbetello, Italy.

The Tombolo della Giannella extends for 6 kilometers, connecting Monte Argentario to the Albegna River mouth with a 300-meter-wide strip of land.

The formation of this natural structure occurred between 6000 and 4000 years ago through sediment deposits from the Albegna River into the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The Spanish Fortress and Spanish House in the Saline area represent the military architectural heritage from the period of the State of Presidi.

The sandy beach features shallow waters along its entire length, with numerous establishments offering services and several free access areas for public use.

Two artificial channels, Fibbia and Nassa, cut through the sandbar to ensure marine water flow into the Orbetello Lagoon.
