About the beach
In the municipality of La Spezia, in the province of La Spezia (Liguria), Spiaggia del Persico is a rocky stretch of coast on the Ligurian Sea.
Orientation: southwest (207°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N), keeps it calm; the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Rocky seabed: water shoes help, and in calm seas it is good for snorkelling.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
