About the beach
Il Moletto is a pebble beach in the municipality of Monte Argentario, in the province of Grosseto (Tuscany), on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Facing northeast (32°), it is sheltered with the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S); with the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher. 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.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
