Q: Where is the Laguna di Ponente located?

The Laguna di Ponente is located in Orbetello, in the province of Grosseto, on the southern coast of Tuscany. It is the western part of the Orbetello lagoon, facing the Argentario promontory. The town of Orbetello and its causeway separate this basin from the Laguna di Levante: if you look at a map, Ponente is on the west side of the town. To discover it, look for the Oasi WWF Laguna di Orbetello or the bosco di Patanella area, within the protected zone. A cycle path links the Orbetello station area to the Feniglia along the lagoon; the distance depends on where you start. Note that this is not a swimming beach: the lagoon is a protected wetland, interesting mainly for its landscapes and birdwatching. For swimming, head instead to the beaches of the Argentario or the beaches of the Giannella and Feniglia tombolos. Check the access conditions to the oasis before setting off, as the trails and areas open to the public do not cover the entire shoreline.
