About the beach
In the municipality of Monte Argentario, in the province of Grosseto (Tuscany), Il Purgatorio is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: southwest (204°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N), keeps it calm; the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) 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.
