About the beach
Spiaggia di Barabarca, within Capoliveri (the province of Livorno, Tuscany), is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The beach faces southwest (246°). It is most sheltered when the Gregale (NE) or Levante (E) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
