La capannuccia, Sandy beach in Orbetello, Italy
La capannuccia is a sandy beach along the Tuscan coast where fine golden sand meets the shoreline and Mediterranean plants grow along the water's edge. The beach opens onto the Tyrrhenian Sea with a wide, sloping sandy bottom.
The coastal area shows traces of ancient Etruscan settlements that shaped maritime activity in the region. These early societies built the foundation for fishing and trade that continues to define the place today.
The beach connects to local food traditions, with restaurants serving regional seafood recipes made from catches brought in by local fishermen. The eating culture here shows how the community has always depended on what the sea provides.
The beach offers sunshade and lounger rentals, changing rooms, showers, and a beachfront restaurant for meals and refreshments. The wide sandy area is easy to reach and suitable for families who want to spend a full day by the water.
The location between Monte Argentario and Duna Feniglia Nature Reserve creates a special microclimate with pleasant water temperatures. This geographic position allows visitors to swim comfortably from late spring through autumn.
