About the beach
Spiaggia del Cantun, within La Spezia (the province of La Spezia, Liguria), is a rocky stretch of coast on the Ligurian Sea.
The beach faces southwest (218°). It is most sheltered when the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) 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).
