The town of Porto Ercole is surrounded by the remains of a mighty stone fortress. Much of the wall facing the Tyrrhenian Sea remains sufficiently intact and you can walk its length while standing tall above the ocean. The wall is narrow and uneven but if you're up to the challenge, it's worth it. The sea is so beautiful and the palm trees so grand, you can forget to look where you're going. So please be careful!
After facing down the dangers on the fortress wall, you can go outside the walls on the other side of town and grab yourself a delicious gelato. Several kiosks are located at the edge of a park serving sweets and espresso. During the summer, these little cafes continue serving well into the night, so you can indulge yourself on the way home from a movie, dancing or a local concert. Finest restaurant for fish and seafood is the classy Gambero Rosso, Lungomare Andrea Doria (tel 0564 832 650; closed Wed).
