About the beach
Cala del Bove is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Monte Argentario, in the province of Grosseto (Tuscany), on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Facing west (258°), it is sheltered with the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE); with the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
