About the beach
In the municipality of Orbetello, in the province of Grosseto (Tuscany), La Capannuccia is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: southwest (214°). 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. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated good by the EEA (2025 season).
