Renowned for its pine forests and beaches that stretch from Marina di Grosseto to Punta Ala, the village of Castiglione della Pescaia stands in the shadow of a 15th-century castle and its medieval village. Stroll along the waterfront or wander through the narrow streets of the centre to discover the local shops and bars. Or if you prefer the tranquillity of golden sandy beaches, take the cycle path that runs from north to south along the pine forest. The town offers a rich calendar of cultural and sporting events in all seasons. Punta Ala harbour, with its restaurants and shops, is worth an evening visit and a walk along the waterfront to admire the yachts moored there.
