Monte Argentario is a magnificent headland surrounded by the sea and connected to the coast by two artificial strips of land, the Orbetello dam and the tombolo di Gianella. The municipality covers a wide area, including much of the south of the Grossetan Maremma; Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole are its two main centres.
Monte Argentario attracts tourists for its unique landscape, its marine environment and its exceptionally mild climate, which makes it an ideal holiday destination for most of the year.
A holiday resort known for its numerous beaches and coves, it is also rich in history. Well-known and much-frequented for centuries, many historical jewels have been preserved and are scattered throughout the region.
