About the beach
Arenile del Cantuccio, within Livorno (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a pebble beach on the Ligurian Sea.
The beach faces west (254°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
