About the beach
Scoglio della Ballerina, within Livorno (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Ligurian Sea.
The beach faces west (249°). It is most sheltered when the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW) 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).
