Are you on vacation in Elba Island and you do not know in which beach to go?

Elba Island offers an infinite number of beaches and of various types: white and black sand beaches, pebble beaches and large slabs of granite.

The sandy beaches that you absolutely cannot miss during your vacation on the island of Elba are: Marina di Campo, Cavoli, Fetovaia, Lacona, Innamorata, Morcone and Biodola.

Marina di Campo is the longest sandy beach on the island and is perfect for families with children, as the seabed slopes very slowly.

The beach extends for about 1300 meters and is located right in front of the town, so those staying in an apartment in the center do not have to use the car to reach the beach.

The beach of Marina di Campo has both stretches of free beach and bathing establishments that provide customers with umbrellas and deck chairs. In two places on the beach, one in the center and one in the Foce area, you can also find two boat rentals (both boats and rubber dinghies).

Cavoli is the most famous beach and most visited by tourists: the color of the sea is crystal clear, the bay is sheltered from the winds (in winter we Elbans go there not only to sunbathe but also to take a bath out of season). It is the most frequented beach by young people who meet in a well-known beach club to have an aperitif at sunset, directly on the beach.

The beach is more than 350 meters long, has bathing establishments that remain open from April to early November and stretches of free beach, if you want to visit in July and August, we recommend that you leave early in the morning, to be able to find parking.

Fetovaia is among the most visited beaches of Elba, thanks to its position sheltered from the winds and its transparent water. It is about 200 meters long and is mostly equipped with bathing establishments.

An advice that we give you is, after spending the day at the beach, to stop on the roadside before sunset to witness a truly wonderful spectacle: the sky is colored first pink and then red, you will not regret it!

Lacona is one of the most suitable beaches for families with children and is very famous because it is the only beach in the entire Tuscan Archipelago that has preserved intact dune areas. The beach of Lacona is one of the few beaches in Elba that allows you to have a natural shade, in fact behind the beach there is a pine forest that allows you to eat and rest in the shade of pine trees.

The Innamorata beach is almost 280 meters long and is made up of dark sand (its color is due to iron and very small pebbles) thanks to its seabed rich in fauna it is also very popular with those who practice snorkeling. This beach is 5 km from Capoliveri and can be reached by car or with a shuttle bus service from Capoliveri.

The beach is half equipped with bathing establishments and half free, there are also services with bars and restaurants.

We suggest you visit the beach on July 14, the day in which the legend of two lovers dating back to 1534, hence the name, is re-enacted: you can watch a torchlight procession and a parade with over one hundred participants in sixteenth-century clothing.

The beach of Morcone is about 270 meters long and consists of sand and gravel of small size, the color of the sea is deep blue and is served by a bathing establishment.

An advice we give you from Easy Elba is to rent a boat and go in the direction of the promontory of Punta Calamita, to find beaches and coves accessible only by sea, including the Calone and Cannello.

A curiosity: in 2021 in the Morcone beach many small caretta-caretta turtles were born.

The beach is 3 km from Capoliveri and can also be reached by a minibus service which is in operation during the summer season.
