About the beach
Le Calanchiole, within Capoliveri (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces southwest (231°). 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.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
