About the beach
Cala del Gesso, within Monte Argentario (the province of Grosseto, Tuscany), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces west (264°). 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. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
