Marina di Grosseto () is a popular tourist destination located in the municipality of Grosseto; it is an important seaside resort in Grossetan Maremma. Once a fishing village, it is known for its hilly hinterland, rich in macchia and wide beaches overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a vast pine forest that extends from Punta Ala to the Uccellina Mountains.

The comune di Grosseto, encapsulating Marina, is the fourth most visited destination in Tuscany, only preceded by Florence, Pisa and Castiglione della Pescaia for tourist arrivals.

Overview

The town is situated around the center of San Rocco, and the first reports of a residential settlement, dates back to 1793 when Torre del Sale commissioned by Ferdinand III of Tuscany was finished.

At that time, the village of San Rocco was one of the four guard posts established to protect the coast after the outbreak of fever, which had struck the city of Marseille in France.

Because of its clean water Marina di Grosseto has received the Blue flag of FEEE (Foundation for Environmental Education in Europe) and in 2017 has also received the Green Flag for accessibility. Located on the border with The Natural Park of Maremma, not far from the mouth of the river Ombrone, Marina di Grosseto has grown substantially since the beginning of urbanization in the 20th century, notably after the draining of the marshes of the Maremma district in the 1930s.
