Tre Ponti (La Scaletta) is a popular surf spot on Italy’s mainland, along the Ligurian coast near Livorno in Tuscany. It’s a beach-break known for being one of the more reliable and accessible surf locations in central Italy.

What it’s like

Wave type: Beach break
Best swell: Works best with NW to W swells
Best wind: E / NE offshore winds generally clean it up
Difficulty: Usually beginner to intermediate, though bigger winter swells can make it more powerful and challenging
Bottom: Mostly sand, which makes it safer and more forgiving than reef or rock spots

Conditions and season

Best season: Autumn and winter tend to produce the most consistent surf
Summer: Often smaller and less consistent, but still surfable on the right days
Crowds: Can get busy, especially when conditions are good, because it’s an easy and well-known local spot

Spot character

Tre Ponti offers a fairly straightforward surf setup with waves that are often suitable for longboards, funboards, and beginner shortboard surfing when the swell is not too large. When a stronger pulse arrives, it can produce punchier, faster sections.

Local notes

Parking and access are generally convenient
The spot is exposed enough to pick up swell, but it can be sensitive to wind and storm direction
Check local reports before heading out, as conditions can change quickly
