Punta Bianca is a rocky stretch of coast in the municipality of Ameglia, in the province of La Spezia (Liguria), on the Ligurian Sea.
Facing southeast (148°), it is sheltered with the Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N); with the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S), which comes from the sea, it gets rougher. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
In the latest European EEA classification (2025 season) the bathing water is rated excellent.
