About the beach
In the municipality of Monte Argentario, in the province of Grosseto (Tuscany), Cala Piccola is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: west (248°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE), keeps it calm; the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
