Ah, the beach in August. Crystal clear water, they say. Well, isn't that just the cherry on top of the sunburn sundae? Sure, the water may be clear, but good luck finding a spot to lay your towel without being elbow-to-elbow with a stranger. And don't even get me started on the sand that seems to follow you everywhere, no matter how much you shake out your shoes. But hey, at least the water is clear, right?

The beach is immaculately maintained with neatly arranged umbrellas, ample parking for both cars and scooters, and a cozy little bar that serves up delicious lunches. It's an idyllic spot to bask in the sun, take a refreshing dip in the sea, and simply unwind. Overall, this is a truly delightful destination that's perfect for anyone seeking a tranquil escape by the shore.

The beach has become my go-to destination for the summer of 2020. It is a place where I can escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse myself in the beauty of nature. The soft sand, gentle waves, and warm sun rays create a serene and peaceful atmosphere that rejuvenates my mind, body, and soul. I love to stroll along the shore, listen to the sound of the waves, and watch the seagulls soar above me. The beach is my favourite spot to relax, unwind, and connect with the natural world.

Breathtaking views from the cliff to the castle and the serene waters below. The third descent offers ample parking for motorcycles and a straightforward staircase with a sturdy handrail. At the bottom, you'll discover a diving club and the abandoned port of the castle, now a charming relic of the past. For a more challenging trek, venture around the corner to the right and explore the stunning natural pools tucked away beneath the castle. Come evening, you'll witness local fishermen casting their lines in the tranquil Calasole.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Grotta del boccale (Livorno) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Grotta del boccale (Livorno) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Grotta del boccale for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
