About the beach
In the municipality of Portoferraio, in the province of Livorno (Tuscany), Spiaggia della Biodola is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: northwest (319°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Sirocco (SE) or Ostro (S), keeps it calm; the Mistral (NW) or Tramontane (N) hits it from the sea and can raise waves. The orientation is derived from the coastline and is still being verified.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
