About the beach
Capo d'Uomo, within Monte Argentario (the province of Grosseto, Tuscany), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces southwest (239°). It is most sheltered when the Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
