It is dotted with famous landmarks such as the ruined Abbey of San Rabano, the towers of Castelmarino, Collelungo, Cala di Forno, and Bella Marsilia, and the remains of the Roman villa at Talamone.
The range is also part of the Maremma Nature Park and, as a result, boasts varied and incredible flora and fauna, rare birds, unique plants like the wild orchid, fragrant bushes like heather and rosemary, horses, Maremma cattle, wild boar, and deer.
Of course, the highlight is the splendid and unmarred beaches. There are many untouched stretches of dunes covered with white lilies and other native plants, towering cliffs and fewer crowds.
The tourist industry has infringed on this area as much as others and, while there might be a lack of facilities in some places, there is a certain charm about this unspoiled natural beauty that many coastal areas of tourist regions have lost.
