Secca Caterina

Drop anchor off Forte Santa Caterina, a dramatic Spanish-built coastal fortress clinging to the slopes of Monte Argentario just outside Porto Ercole. The setting is striking — rugged Tuscan coastline, a centuries-old fortification looming above, and the charming village of Porto Ercole within easy reach by dinghy. It's a fantastic base for exploring the Argentario peninsula, with hiking trails nearby linking the historic Spanish forts that dot the headland.
