About the beach
Calanova, within Capoliveri (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces northeast (44°). It is most sheltered when the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N) 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).
