About this site

Punta Di Radice is a rocky point on Giglio Island, off the coast of the Province of Grosseto in Tuscany, within the Tyrrhenian Sea. The island's shoreline is lined with granite headlands like this one, typically reached by boat from the small harbors around Giglio. Divers here have reported groupers along the rocky terrain, and some have even mentioned sightings of bumphead parrotfish, manta rays, and whales, though these are unusual claims for Mediterranean waters and worth treating with some caution.
