About the beach
In the municipality of Porto Azzurro, in the province of Livorno (Tuscany), La Rossa is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: east (106°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW), keeps it calm; the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) 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 excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
