Orbetello
A town on a sandbar between two lagoons, with Monte Argentario across the water.
16 days outthe nearest is a 1 h 59 drive from Rome
Orbetello sits in the middle of its own lagoon, joined to the Argentario headland by a road built along a spit of sand. The lagoon is a bird reserve and the water either side of the causeway is shallow, flat and reliably windy — which is why this is where people come to ride the wind rather than swim.
It is the furthest place on this list and it is in Tuscany, not Lazio. The drive is the price of the flattest sailing water on this coast.
