About the beach
Patresi Mare, within Marciana (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces northwest (299°). It is most sheltered when the Sirocco (SE) or Levante (E) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Mistral (NW) or Ponente (W) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
