The Province of Grosseto completely occupies the southern end of Tuscany, and with a territorial area  of {{convert|4504|km2|mi2}}, it is the most extensive in the region and one of the least dense in population in Italy. The province is bordered to the northwest by the [[Province of Livorno]], to the north by the [[Province of Pisa]], to the northeast by the [[Province of Siena]], and to the southeast by the [[Province of Viterbo]] in [[Lazio]]. To the south is the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]], which includes the southern islands of the Tuscan archipelago, including [[Isola del Giglio]]<ref name="Hogg2011">{{cite book|last=Hogg|first=Sylvie|title=Frommer's Italian Islands|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Mcl40TBozY4C&pg=PT134|date=9 February 2011|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-1-118-03347-0|page=134}}</ref> and the smaller [[Giannutri]] islands and [[Formiche di Grosseto]] and Formica di Burano. The [[Arcipelago Toscano National Park]] spans both the provinces of Grosseto and Livorno, and includes the seven main islands of the Tuscan Archipelago: [[Elba]], Isola del Giglio, [[Capraia]], [[Montecristo]], [[Pianosa]], Giannutri, [[Gorgona, Italy|Gorgona]], and some of the minor islands and rock outcrops.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parks.it/parco.nazionale.arcip.toscano/Epar.php|title=Parco Nazionale Arcipelago Toscano|publisher=Parks.it|access-date=30 September 2014}}</ref> The highest point in the park is [[Mount Capanne]], at {{convert|1019|m|ft}} in elevation, on the island of Elba.<ref name="FacarosPauls2007">{{cite book|last1=Facaros|first1=Dana|last2=Pauls|first2=Michael|title=Tuscany, Umbria and the Marches|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RjnhlB7VF5MC&pg=PA307|year=2007|publisher=New Holland Publishers|isbn=978-1-86011-359-8|page=307}}</ref> 

The [[Colline Metallifere]] (Metalliferous Hills) line the border in the south with Lazio, and contain the Natural Park of [[Maremma]], that protects also some of the remainings of the large swamps that once covered the area. Other protected areas are the Diaccia Botrona marshland.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parco-maremma.it|title=Benvenuto in Joomla|publisher=Parco-maremma.it|access-date=29 September 2014}}</ref> The principal rivers are the [[Ombrone]],<ref name="Bowsky1981">{{cite book|last=Bowsky|first=William M.|title=A Medieval Italian Commune: Siena Under the Nine, 1287-1355|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FbxrBFl7JSkC&pg=PA6|date=1 January 1981|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-04256-8|page=6}}</ref> [[Fiora River|Fiora]], [[Albegna]], [[Pecora (river)|Pecora]], [[Bruna (river)|Bruna]], [[Merse (river)|Merse]], {{ill|Lente (river)|lt=Lente|it|Lente (fiume)}}, [[Farma (river)|Farma]] and [[Chiarone]]. The coastline between the [[Gulf of Follonica]] and the mouth of the Chiarone is dominated by blue waters and pine forests, and is home to resorts such as [[Marina di Grosseto]], [[Principina a Mare]], [[Castiglione della Pescaia]], [[Punta Ala]], [[Puntone di Scarlino]] and [[Talamone]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.italia.it/en/discover-italy/tuscany/grosseto.html|title=Grosseto|publisher=Italia.it|access-date=30 September 2014}}</ref> Lakes include [[Lago dell'Accesa]], [[Lago di Burano]], [[Lago di San Floriano]] and [[Lago Acquato]].
