About the beach
Spiaggia Cala del Pisciatoio, within Rio (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces northwest (300°). 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. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
