The Journey
Cavoli Beach
Cavoli Beach, a jewel of Elba Island, beckons with its shimmering golden sands and crystalline turquoise waters. Sheltered from strong winds, it’s an idyllic spot for sunbathing and swimming, often drawing crowds seeking relaxation and vibrant summer vibes. Its name, deriving from the Italian word for 'cabbages,' hints at the agricultural past of this now beloved seaside haven. Experience the allure of its fine sand underfoot and the refreshing embrace of its clear, inviting sea.
Fetovaia Beach
Fetovaia Beach stands out as one of Elba's most captivating treasures. This sheltered bay boasts a long, sandy stretch embraced by rugged rocks and lush Mediterranean flora, creating a natural paradise. The deep blue, transparent waters teem with marine life, making it a haven for snorkelers and swimmers eager to explore the vibrant underwater world. Its unique microclimate offers protection from the winds, enhancing the tranquil experience of this unforgettable coastal gem.
Pomonte Wreck Beach
The beach near the wreck of the Elviscott cargo ship in Pomonte offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty. The half-submerged wreck, lying just offshore since its sinking in 1972, creates a surreal snorkeling experience and a dramatic focal point. The exceptionally clear waters reveal the wreck and the diverse marine life that has made it their home. A must-visit for those seeking adventure and a glimpse into Elba's maritime past.
Chiessi Beach
Chiessi Beach, characterized by its smooth, gray pebbles and polished granite rocks, offers a ruggedly beautiful coastal experience. Its clear, transparent sea slopes dramatically, inviting divers and snorkelers to explore its depths. The beach's breezy conditions make it a favorite among surfers and windsurfers. Bask in the sun on the smooth rocks, enjoy panoramic sea views, and embrace the invigorating atmosphere of this unique Elban beach.
Sant'Andrea and Cotoncello Beaches
Sant'Andrea Beach enchants with its fine golden sands and crystal-clear waters, sheltered by protective promontories. From here, a short path leads to the hidden gem of Cotoncello, a small, sheltered inlet affectionately known as a 'natural pool'. Cotoncello, surrounded by smooth granite cliffs, offers a serene and protected bathing experience. Experience the best of both worlds: the expansive beauty of Sant'Andrea and the intimate tranquility of Cotoncello.
