About the beach

In the municipality of Piombino, in the province of Livorno (Tuscany), Desco beach is a pebble beach on the Ligurian Sea.

“Desco beach” is a descriptive name taken from the locality: this beach has no name of its own on OpenStreetMap.

Orientation: southwest (206°). 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.

Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.

Bathing water rated good by the EEA (2025 season).
