The port of Quercianella is located in the Livorno hamlet of the same name in Tuscany. The locality is the southernmost of the Labronian municipality and is situated on a stretch of sea that receives the blue flag every year. The area is stunning, rocky overhanging the sea, a short distance from Castiglioncello, another pearl of the Ligurian Sea.

In winter Quercianella has little more than 1,000 inhabitants, but in summer it is a destination for refined, clear-sea-loving tourism. Bathing is allowed along the entire coast, some stretches are managed by bathing establishments, while others are free. The ports are administered by the Quercianella Sailing Club, which is open during reduced hours in winter and full-time in summer.

The harbor abuts an elbow-shaped reef about 150 meters long, and docking is only allowed in summer and good weather. When Libeccio and Ponente winds blow, it is impossible to dock. There are also shoals to the left of the harbor mouth, which during the summer period is marked by floating red buoys that mark off a channel 150 meters long and 50 meters wide.

The ports of Quercianella are southeast of the Romito tower, on whose waist is the Sonnino castle, a 19th-century building where there was previously a 16th-century fort built by the Medici to defend the coast. The Livorno coastline runs from the Antignano district to Castiglioncello and is one of the most beautiful and cleanest stretches of the Ligurian Sea.

In summer, the numerous coves are crowded with boats and the rocks swarm with bathers. Quercianella is one of the more elegant factions, consisting of villas and crates scattered throughout the downhill village that ends at the sea. The boat club is near the marina, and to join you must be introduced by at least three members and fill out a form also found on the website.

By sea it is forbidden to enter the dock without prior permission and anchoring at the outer pier is always allowed temporarily. There are 80-100 berths available depending on the size of the vessels, which must not exceed 6 meters.

When the wind blows, you have to approach the coast by sailing perpendicularly until you reach the entrance to the port, which is marked by a red light. One must be careful that at the entrance there are shoals on the left side.

When a strong Libeccio wind blows, an annoying undertow rises. The Libeccio and Scirocco are there in winter, while in summer the Ponente and Maestrale winds blow. The seabed is exclusively rocky and near the coast reaches a maximum depth of about 1 meter
