Cala del Gesso, Sandy beach in Monte Argentario, Italy
The beach features white pebbles and clear Mediterranean waters, surrounded by limestone cliffs and dense Mediterranean vegetation along the coast.
A 15th-century Spanish watchtower stands above the beach, part of a defensive network built to protect the Argentario peninsula from maritime invasions.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing methods in the waters near the beach, contributing to the preservation of regional maritime practices.
Reaching the beach requires a 15-minute walk down an 800-meter path with a 130-meter elevation change from the parking area.
The beach faces the Argentarola island, creating a natural swimming pool effect with varying water depths suitable for snorkeling activities.
