Description

Cala del Gesso is one of the most beautiful coves around the promontory of Monte Argentario, in the province of Grosseto, and is easily reached by boat. Reaching it on foot is very difficult, so the place is not overly crowded, except on holidays in warm weather.

The beach in front of the Anchorages is one of the most beautiful in all of Argentario and consists of very small smooth pebbles and sand. The beach is free and there are no facilities; on the far right are the remains of a 16th-century Spanish tower.

Across from the beach is Argentarola Island, which is exactly opposite the headland of the anchorage cala Moresca, another spectacular landing place on Mount Argentario. On the small island at a depth of 23 meters there is a cave that is much visited by scuba diving enthusiasts.

To reach Cala del Gesso it is worth starting from ports Santo Stefano and coasting all along the Argentario in order to admire the spectacular scenery and crystal clear water of the Tyrrhenian Sea. You will encounter numerous small beaches set amidst the rocks that are practically impossible to reach by land and still wild and unspoiled.

On the way to the Cove you will pass Giannella beach and then the baths of Domitian, also called Gerini beach, a pristine stretch of sea where you can still see the remains of ancient Roman tanks where fish were raised. Nearby are also the remains of an ancient Roman villa from 36 B.C.

A little further on will be Soda beach, another area popular with divers, and finally the spectacular scenery of Cala del Gesso, an inlet amidst rocks facing a beach of polished pebbles and sand, will open up.

The seabed is not very deep and consists of stones, rocks, sand and posidonia. The anchorage is sheltered from winds and currents and attracts many boats since it is one of the most beautiful corners in all of Mount Argentario.

The sea is transparent and populated with all kinds of fish, and the seabed presents a changing and very impressive scenery. The area is frequented by diving enthusiasts, because from the rocks you can jump into very deep water without any danger.

To the south is the cove of Cala del Bove, another wonderful wild place, perfect for snorkeling. To the north is Cala Grande, the busiest anchorage in all of Argentario, which is very wide and there are three pebble beaches with thick vegetation behind them. Cala del gesso is one of the most beautiful places to moor in Tuscany.

Do you need to sell your boat? You are in the right place! yachtdigest.com is in fact the largest online portal on recreational boating and in this section you will be able to write your ad for free if you want to sell your boat. Adding a new sales message is very simple and intuitive as is finding a boat you are interested in buying, but to make your listing even more appealing, we want to give you some general but important pointers that you can follow if you wish.

First of all, try to personalize your ad, describing the history of the boat and perhaps the reason why you are selling it, this way you will gain more trust from the reader.

You can call it “half-new” if it is almost new, or “used” by specifying whether or not it is in good condition. It indicates the condition of the engines, the year of registration, how many owners it has had-most importantly, it indicates whether the boat has been owned by a single owner: it increases interest to those reading the ad.

The goodness of your craft must shine through in your message, because before you can convince someone, you yourself must be convinced that the product is good.

It is important that no spelling errors are made in the advertisement, so reread the message well before putting it online. The language then must be clear and simple, understandable to all.

It serves to attract interest and induce the reader to continue reading; it is the most important part and should summarize in one line the whole message we want to give. Unfortunately, you don’t have much chance to stand out much except with something really original to attract attention. So focus on truly original details of the boat, its real qualities: in the yachtdigest.com portal this brief summary will appear by hovering over the picture of the boat with the mouse.

It is important to clearly include the general record of the vessel. Always enter: shipyard, model, length, width, draft, engines, number of cabins, year of construction, price.

In the boat sheet accurately enter all boat details, standard and extra equipment. It is useful to communicate many details and details for those who are really interested and will continue reading beyond the first few lines.

Suggest to the reader who wants to buy the best features of your craft, and do not indicate-unless it is necessary to inform the buyer in advance-information that might negatively influence the reader.

Always indicate the price. Unless you absolutely do not want to deal, we recommend adding the words “price negotiable” which gives an incentive for the buyer to contact you.
