The beach is absolutely stunning with crystal-clear water. The shoreline is quite small, and getting there can be a bit challenging due to the steep road. Finding a close parking spot can be difficult, and it takes around 15-20 minutes to reach the beach from the parking area.

This beach is the best in the area! We initially went to Spiaggia Lunga and were somewhat let down in comparison. Both beaches require a descent (and ascent) on foot, but this one was definitely worth it! The beach had rocks, but thankfully mostly small pebbles, making it easy to enter the water. A word of advice: remember to bring an umbrella as there is absolutely no shade available!

This beach is absolutely breathtaking. It was definitely my favorite spot in Argentario. Here, you can discover a beautiful and untouched environment with incredibly clear water and plenty of fish for snorkeling. The beach is rocky, but it's easy to enter the water barefoot. There are no amenities, so make sure to bring your own food, water, and possibly an umbrella as the sun can be intense until sunset. The way to get there is a bit challenging. It's a nearly 1 kilometer downhill walk, with the last part consisting of steps and a fairly steep slope. The main difficulty is that it's quite long, so I recommend wearing sneakers. There is a private parking lot nearby (Parcheggio il Pino, 10€ for the whole day) or you can try your luck parking on the road. In September, it was relatively easy to find a spot. My suggestion would be to visit in the afternoon and make your way back up during sunset. This way, you can enjoy both the stunning view and cooler temperatures.

The 700-meter walk downhill from the street is definitely worth it. The beach offers crystal clear water and a laid-back atmosphere. It's advisable to bring along an umbrella and a bottle of water.

The beach has a stunning location, but the visitors it attracts are not impressive. It is a popular destination for Romans looking for a weekend getaway. Getting there is not too challenging, although the uphill walk can be tiring. Finding parking is quite difficult, so it's best to park on the road, even though there is a risk of getting a ticket. The beach definitely deserves a 5-star rating for its natural beauty, but unfortunately, most of the visitors do not deserve any stars at all.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala del Gesso (Grosseto) 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 Cala del Gesso (Grosseto) 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 Cala del Gesso 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.
