The right beach to choose during your holidays on the island of Elba
Island = sea, this combination instinctively appears in anyone's head.
If you are looking for a healthy relaxing holiday by the sea, you are in the right place!
The island of Elba has more than 100 beaches, all different: from fine to thicker sand, from very white pebbles to black beaches, from remote coves to small bays in the middle of the greenery, reachable on foot or by boat.
But which are the beaches not to be missed during your holidays on the island of Elba? Follow the winds and you will never go wrong.
Sansone and Capo Bianco: for those who love pebbles
South wind? Run to Sansone! A beach made up of small very white pebbles that shine under the sunlight making the sea a crystalline mirror. Perfect for snorkelling.
You can also rent a sunbed in the only bathing establishment present or lay down your towel on the free beach.
Also within walking distance are the beautiful beaches of Prunini and Le Ghiaie, in the area ofPortoferraio.
Le Coti Piane: between sea and granite
You will meet these magnificent rocks by going to the small village of Sant'Andrea. The rocks smoothed by the sea and the wind form a small protected indentation and give access to enchanting water. Enjoy the thousand shades of blue of this area letting yourself be kissed by the sun or diving from the highest points.
Fetovaia and relaxation on the sand
Everyone knows that fine white sand is loved by everyone:
Fetovaia, the famous bay of the "coast of the sun" is the perfect place to find it.
200 meters long and with a rather shallow seabed, the beach enjoys a privileged position, the only wind against it here is the sirocco, so go ahead with all the others.
On the contrary, if you prefer an alternative contrast between black sand, rich in minerals, and blue sea, welcome to Terranera. The place is certainly one of the most evocative of Elba. Next to the beach there is a small lake born from a mining basin, divided only by a thin strip of sand.
If sandy beaches have a special place in your heart we suggest you search a holiday accommodation in Marina di Campo, perfect for reaching many beaches such as Procchio, Lacona and Cavoli!
And Pianosa?
If, on the other hand, you cannot do without Caribbean beaches, tranquility and flat seas, then book your place on the ferry immediately: we leave for Pianosa.
In fact, just an hour by boat from Marina di Campo there is an old prison island, protected by the Park institution: here is the flattest island there is, only 29 meters high above sea level!
Once in Cala Giovanna, the only beach where it is possible to swim, you will feel like you are dreaming. Here nature enjoys its total freedom, it will not be difficult for you to spot breams, groupers, starfish and many other colored fish, it is no coincidence that it is one of the most popular destinations for divers.
We are sure that on Isliday.com you will find the right beach for you, perhaps a stone's throw from your holiday home on the island of Elba.
