Marina di Grosseto (Italian: [maˈriːna di grosˈseːto]) is a popular tourist destination located twelve kilometers from 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.
