About the beach
In the municipality of Rio, in the province of Livorno (Tuscany), Spiaggia di Ortano is a pebble beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: east (81°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ponente (W) or Libeccio (SW), keeps it calm; the Levante (E) or Gregale (NE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
