Great bay, beautiful sandy beach, great food and friendly service at the Tahiti beach restaurant and a gorgeous polyglot sailing school: Elba Water Sports

Cute little town on a beautiful sand beach. Make sure to have lunch at Hotel del Golfo. The catch of the day is especially delicious.

This beach wasn’t our first choice, we ended up there due to road being closed for bike races, but it turned out to be one of the fines beaches we’ve been on Elba. Sandy, flat and with plenty of bars, water rather shallow and very clean

Great beach with various public areas, amazing scenery, clean water. At the far right end, there is a protected shallow bay that seems like a kiddie pool it's so warm.

Nothing special, very busy, lots of people, good if you are young with some friends of have small children. Make your choise wisely. ( sorry no pics as I was not very interested of taking any

Attractive setting with some quality restaurants and plenty of space to soak up the atmosphere. Helpful staff on hand.

Okay beach. Great scenery, but Lacuna has fresher water, better parking and is more child-friendly.

Very nice and fairly easy mountain walk up to Monte Capanne. Start at the cable car on route 1. If you are used to Alpine mountain walking, the trip takes about 1.5-2 hours. You will see beautiful nature and great views throughout the walk. It is very empty as 99.9% of people take the cable car. The top of Monte Capanne is very busy and completely built up with telecom and TV antennas. Hence, enjoy your walk up.

Amazing experience...wonderful nature!

Picturesque summit

Hiking the Monte Capanne was great fun, especially since the way 101 up is very easy to follow and pretty beautiful as well. The view from the top across the island and beyond is amazing! Thanks to the nice lady of the little café, she was very sweet. We went down by foot too, it's a nice 1-day-tour (2,5 hours to the top, 2 hours having a break + lunch there, 1.5 hours back..more or less.)

The view from the highste point on Elba is amazing. You can see all the island around and the beautiful island Elba with all his colors

Amazing view and an exciting ride with the cable car! Walking down took us about 1:30h and was really worth it. There’s a café on the top and apparently you can buy tickets for the return trip on the top if you decide to walk up and take the cable car down :)

Great views, nice hiking trails all round! Beware the route to the peak from the west requires harness climbing equipment

Fantastic view from the top. You can arrive at the summit by the Cabinovia Monte Capanne.

Fantastic views

Excellent and accessible beach with mostly pebbles/rocks rather than sand (swimming shoes recommended). As others have pointed out, manned by a very active and vigilant but nice café manager/lifeguard. Clear and quite clean water compared to for an example Spiaggia della Feniccia in Marciana Marina. Parking on the nearby main road was straightforward and available a sunday in late June. Big plus for the Pink Floyd music played. Beats the average techno and latino rubbish played elsewhere hands down.

Very nice, clean, and peaceful beach

You'll never tell how such a widely accessible place can be so breath taking. Crystal clear sea is fantastic ( like almost every other place on the Island). The issue you will be facing again is where to park your vehicle as there isn't a dedicated parking spot, so...along the main road is how to do it. Make sure you are on the other side of the white lines to avoid unnecessary FPN's. The beach is really small ( both the concession and the free side). The Paolina Island is about 75 meters away from the beach which it makes a perfect beginner's swimming distance. If you decide to try it, maybe arrive a bit early in the morning, definitely before 10.00am. Small shack for quick snack on site. Enjoy your day.

A small but stunning beach. The trail down can be challenging with loose gravel but a lovely beach. You can swim to the island or enjoy a coffee at th beach bar.

A very wonderful beach, to be honest, with a very nice landscape view coming from the Paolina little rocky island, that makes this place to perfect to make great photos or just relax. It is half sandy and half Rocky, but I would still suggest good shoes if you have kids. The entrance is served by good stairs next to the parking lot, which is a simple line on the right side of the street. The beach is, however, very narrow due to the bar that occupies two thirds of the little sand available, this is not no acceptable. For this reason it is not so rcommended during crowded seasons or Sundays. Showers and WC available in place.

Nice small Sandy / Rocky beach . Clear water. Steep decline from the road. Bar at the beach.

Beautiful to look at but you need river shoes to go in the water. Bar is rustic with limited choice and sun lounger rental is overpriced. Probably better for adult sun worshippers than small children who like to paddle.

Wild and gorgeous. Clear water and beautiful location. Great memory

Beautiful walk

the climb is hard but the top view is great

90% of the beach is taken by private sunbeds. Super crowded

A destination for a romantic sunset view or a quiet getaway to chill and watch the sunset, along with a brilliant beach bar 🍸🍹

Maybe it's because it's August, but too crowded, high prices, and the sea wasn't as good as the pics

Nice sandy beach with good terrace/ restaurant and beautiful view. Beach is excellent for children, you can walk in to the see for like 50 meters.

Cristal clear water, beautiful landscape, marvelous light sand. The beach is well managed and easily accessible by bus or car. There are plenty of sports options, bar and restaurants for a nice lunch or a refreshing cocktail with a view. Moreover, if you are that type of person that doesn't like to spend too much time sunbathing, you can take a nice and panoramic walk on the nearby pathway and easily reach other beaches.

It is an excellent beach to spend holidays. Though too many people gather specially during July and August, you can still have your space as it covers huge area. The sea is excellent. Views are great. Perfect place for a change.

Wonderful clear blue water. No service. rent recliner 7€, umbrella 5€. Nice part of beach with service for hotel residents.

Wonderful beach, really well equipped, white sand, and you can walk quite far in the sea since it is becoming deep quite far from the beach.

Very rocky beach area. One cafe which is expensive, a toasted bread with tomato was 9 euro. Very steep road in but there is a local bus for 50 cent

(Translated by Google) At the moment the pier is being renovated after a strong sea storm that damaged it, so it is only partially usable: the part where it is possible to dive and climb up with the ladder remains usable. It is equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds on request. There is also a free shower, a rarity on the island's beaches! The easily accessible beach of rocks and stones starts from the pier. There is a beach bar, with small kitchen. I will put the missing star when the concrete pier is completed and you can fully enjoy the splendid sunset that this place offers. Star added, pier completed with the addition of a part where you can sit with your feet overlooking the sea! (Original) In questo momento il pontile è in rifacimento dopo una forte mareggiata che lo ha danneggiato, quindi è agibile solo parzialmente: è rimasta utilizzabile la parte dove è possibile tuffarsi e risalire con la scaletta. Viene attrezzato con ombrelloni e lettini a richiesta. C'è anche la doccia gratuita, una rarità nelle spiagge dell'isola! Dal pontile parte la spiaggia di rocce e sassi facilmente accessibile. C'è un bar sulla spiaggia, con piccola cucina. La stella mancante la metterò quando il pontile in cemento sarà completato e si potrà godere per intero il tramonto splendido che offre questo luogo. Stella aggiunta, pontile completato con l'aggiunta di una parte dove si può stare seduti con i piedi sul mare!

(Translated by Google) I arrived on this beach at sunset and I can say that I saw one of the most beautiful sunsets of my life from here! The view is absolutely breathtaking. However, I don't know if I would have appreciated the beach for a day at the beach considering the discomfort of the large stones and the presence of the concrete platform. (Original) Sono arrivata su questa spiaggia all'ora del tramonto e posso dire di aver visto da qui uno dei tramonti più belli della mia vita! La vista è assolutamente mozzafiato. Non so però se avrei apprezzato la spiaggia per una giornata di mare considerata la scomodità dei sassi di notevoli dimensioni e la presenza della piattaforma in cemento.

(Translated by Google) The sunsets from this pebble beach located in the north-west of the island are unmissable. Not crowded but easily reachable via a road that goes down from the provincial road to the coast. The water is shallow up to several meters from the shore but the stones on the bottom are slippery so you have to be careful when swimming. The water is so beautiful that it's worth it. (Original) Imperdibili i tramonti da questa spiaggia di sassi situata a nordovest dell'isola. Poco affollata ma raggiungibile comodamente tramite una strada che scende dalla provinciale fino alla costa. L'acqua è bassa fino a diversi metri da riva ma i sassi sul fondo sono scivolosi quindi per fare il bagno bisogna fare attenzione. L'acqua è talmente bella che ne vale la pena.

(Translated by Google) Small cove with a beautiful sea. I didn't particularly love the concrete bases at the entrance to the beach. There is a nice and colorful bar for aperitifs and fried food! (Original) Piccola cala con un bel mare. Non ho amato particolarmente le basi di cemento presenti all'ingresso della spiaggia. Presente bar carino e colorato per aperitivi e fritture!

(Translated by Google) Stunning place, wonderful water and seabed (a mask is a must), not excessively crowded, equipped with a large pier with establishment and bar, Bar Crock; welcoming and kind staff, they make anyone feel at home, fantastic. Absolutely recommended. (Original) Posto stupendo, acqua e fondale meravigliosi (la maschera è d'obbligo) , non eccessivamente affollato, dotato di un grande molo con stabilimento e di bar, Bar Crock; personale accogliente e gentile, fanno sentire chiunque come a casa propria, fantastici. Assolutamente consigliato.

(Translated by Google) Very particular beach and different from the others. Crystal clear water and pier where you can dive. Quiet beach suitable for those looking for a little tranquility. (Original) Spiaggia molto particolare e diversa dalle altre. Acqua cristallina e molo da dove si possono fare i tuffi. Spiaggia tranquilla adatta a chi cerca un pochino di tranquillità.

Hidden beach, a bit off the main tack so be prepared to walk down stairs and on loose gravel. There was jellyfish when we went in September but on a different day would be beautiful.

An amazing little beach.

Very nice beach, good snorkeling!

Une superbe belle plage !!! (Translated by Google) A superb beautiful beach!!!

Very nice beach. If you have an umbrella you can put it in some drilled holes.

Superbe petit plage. (Translated by Google) Superb little beach.

really pretty ! i suggest to bring some swimming shoes 🫶🏼

Maginifique a voir, mais beaucoup de monde et peu de place et dificile pour ce garer (Translated by Google) Magnificent to see, but a lot of people and little space and difficult to park

Good location, a 3 stars hotel with consistent services

Beach is cool but crowded

(Translated by Google) I stayed at the Hotel Delfino for a week and I am truly satisfied. Impeccable organization right from booking. Welcoming, attentive, helpful and always friendly staff. Very spacious room, excellent cleanliness. The breakfast is really well supplied and the dinner is prepared with quality raw materials; we have always eaten very well... the menu includes for each dinner: a starter, a first course, a second course with side dish and a dessert of your choice (the portions are not large but at the end of the meal you will be full!). The parking is 100 meters from the hotel but it is really accessible and always available! The well organized beach, with changing rooms, free hot shower and bathrooms. The only flaw is that the sunbeds do not have a sun canopy. The food is really good at the restaurant on the beach and hotel guests can enjoy a 10% discount. What can I say... I recommend it!!! (Original) Ho soggiornato all'Hotel Delfino per una settimana e sono veramente soddisfatta. Organizzazione impeccabile sin dalla prenotazione. Personale accogliente, attento, disponibile e sempre cordiale. Camera molto spaziosa, ottima pulizia. La colazione è veramente ben fornita e la cena è preparata con materie prime di qualità; abbiamo mangiato sempre molto bene.. il menù prevede per ogni cena: un antipasto, un primo, un secondo con contorno ed un dessert a scelta (le porzioni non sono abbondanti ma al termine del pasto si è sazi!). Il parcheggio è a 100 metri dall'hotel ma è veramente accessibile e sempre disponibile! La spiaggia ben organizzata, con spogliatoi, doccia calda gratuita e bagni. Unica pecca sono i lettini che non hanno il tettuccio parasole. Al ristorante sulla spiaggia si mangia veramente bene e gli ospiti dell'hotel possono godere di uno sconto del 10%. Che dire.. Ve lo consiglio!!!

(Translated by Google) We are fully satisfied. We stayed at the Stenella just a few steps from the sea. Welcoming, helpful and always friendly staff (I particularly greet Martina who treated us very well!!). The room is spacious and cleanliness is excellent. We always ate very well. The breakfast buffet and dinner menu is a la carte and I personally prefer it. The beach is of golden sand, excellent for children and beyond. In general, the island of Elba is a spectacular place: beautiful sea, you can find all types of beaches (from sand to pebbles to rocks), breathtaking views, historical sites, mines, beautiful cities, without even spending hours in the car do km. The Elba Spiagge app is very useful. I advise (Original) Siamo pienamente soddisfatti. Abbiamo alloggiato alla Stenella a veramente pochi passi dal mare. Personale accogliente, disponibile e sempre cordiale (saluto particolarmente Martina che ci ha trattato benissimo!!). La camera è spaziosa e la pulizia è ottima. Abbiamo mangiato sempre molto bene. La colazione a buffet e il menù della cena è a "la carte" e personalmente lo preferisco. La spiaggia è di sabbia dorata, ottima per i bimbi e non solo. In generale l'isola d'Elba è un posto spettacolare: mare bellissimo, si trovano tutti i tipi di spiaggia (dalla sabbia ai ciottoli, agli scogli) panorama mozzafiato, siti storici, miniere, città bellissime, senza neanche passare ore sulla macchina a fare km. Utilissima l'app Elba Spiagge. Lo consiglio

(Translated by Google) We spent a 4 day holiday in the annex of this hotel. The location is fantastic, 50 meters from the very pretty and well-equipped beach. I do not recommend half board because dinner is really poor and breakfast is nothing special either. The empathy of the staff, apart from the really kind waitress Andrea, is non-existent. I'm not going back. (Original) Abbiamo trascorso una vacanza di 4 giorni nella Depandance di questo albergo. Fantastica la posizione a 50 metri dalla spiaggia molto carina e ben attrezzata. Sconsiglio la mezza pensione perché la cena è veramente scadente e anche la colazione non è nulla di speciale. L'empatia dello staff , a parte la cameriera di sala Andrea veramente gentile, è inesistente. Io non ci torno.

(Translated by Google) We stayed in this hotel last week of July, master room facing the sea with balcony. A warm welcome received from Gloria (with wonderful smile). Private beach in front, umbrella included in the room rate, a stone's throw from the center, private parking. Clean hotel, friendly staff and good food!!! (Original) Abbiamo soggiornato in questo hotel ultima settimana di luglio, camera master fronte mare con balcone . Un caloroso benvenuto ricevuto da Gloria (con sorriso meraviglioso). Spiaggia privata di fronte, ombrellone compreso nella tariffa della camera , due passi dal centro , parcheggio privato. Hotel pulito , personale cordiale e si mangia bene !!!

(Translated by Google) We felt very comfortable in the Hotel Delfino: the welcome was warm, the room was huge and immaculately cleaned - as was the bathroom; The side view with sunrise from the balcony was simply wonderful! The service staff were very polite, attentive and courteous; the food in the hotel restaurant was a poem; There was something typically Italian for every taste! Another highlight was the proximity to the hotel beach; Great service there too ;) ... The snack bar and restaurant left nothing to be desired... ;) We'll definitely be back, but this time with the whole family :) (Original) Wir haben uns im Hotel Delfino "rundherum" sehr wohl gefühlt: Der Empfang war herzlich, das Zimmer riesig und picobello gereinigt - ebenso wie das Badezimmer; der seitliche Ausblick mit Sonnenaufgang vom Balkon aus war einfach nur herrlich! Die Mitarbeiter:innen im Service waren sehr höflich, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend; die Speisen im Hotelrestaurant waren ein Gedicht; für jeden Geschmack war etwas typisch Italienisches dabei! Ein weiteres Highlight war die Nähe zum Hotelstrand; Super Service auch dort ;) ... Snackbar und Restaurant ließen keine Wünsche offen... ;) Wir kommen bestimmt wieder, aber dieses Mal gleich schon mit der gesamten Familie :)

Follow route 101 to the summit. A long and relatively steep hike. Bring water and take breaks. Well worth it in the end

Beautiful old place with a magnificent view!

Sweet service 🤗

(Translated by Google) Nice beautiful panorama Old fortress that I was not able to visit due to Italian timetables... be careful, the opening hours are unpredictable. Big climb in full sun, I do not recommend it to people who are not very sporty (Original) Sympa beau panorama Vieille forteresse que je n'ai pas pu visiter fautes aux horaires italiens... attention donc les horaires d'ouverture sont fantasques. Grosse montée en plein soleil je déconseille aux personnes peu sportive

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful viewpoint! Nice and kind staff. We hope they invest in the valorisation of the fortress which needs it at some point. It deserves to be seen! (Original) Punto panoramico molto bello! Staff simpatico e gentile. Speriamo investano sulla valorizzazione della fortezza che in qualche punto ne ha bisogno. Merita di essere vista!

(Translated by Google) Superb panorama from the terraces just below the fortress which is not very interesting (Original) Superbe panorama depuis les terrasses juste dessous la forteresse qui elle est sans grand intérêt

Top

(Translated by Google) ... in a very pretty context .. this beach as well as giving a suggestive image of the boulders smoothed by the sea, a Sunset to live .. !! Even the very characteristic village .. (Original) …in un contesto molto grazioso ..questa spiaggia oltre a regalare una immagine suggestiva dei massi levigati dal mare , un Tramonto da vivere ..!! Anche il paesino molto caratteristico..

(Translated by Google) Time to DIVE guys!! In reality there is no beach here... (you can find it about fifty places further back). But smooth granite rocks and slightly sloping towards the sea. As others said, planting the umbrella can be a bit problematic but if you're lucky... The water passes from 2.50 m. where you can dive from a sort of artificial "trampoline" 3.50 meters high. at 7/8 m. just 10 m. off the coast. If you feel like it, you can reach the Relitto beach just 300 meters away. The view is magnificent and wild. It is possible to park in a public place if you manage to arrive by 09.00 and regarding bars and restaurants you will find them all just a few steps from the sea. In the middle of the day it is VERY HOT so bring an umbrella and definitely rock shoes! Highly recommended!👍 (Original) È ora di TUFFARSI ragazzi!! In realtà non c’è alcuna spiaggia qui.. (la trovate una cinquantina di metti più indietro). Ma rocce granitiche levigate e in leggera pendenza verso il mare. Come dicevano altri piantare l ombrellone può essere un po’ problematico ma se avete fortuna.. L’acqua passa dai 2,50 mt. circa dove vi potete tuffare da una sorta di “trampolino” artificiale alto 3,50 mt. ai 7/8 mt. appena 10 mt. fuori costa. Se ne avete voglia potete raggiungere la spiaggia del Relitto a soli 300 mt. Il panorama è magnifico e selvaggio. È possibile parcheggiare in un posto pubblico se riuscite ad arrivare entro le 09.00 e riguardo a bar e ristoranti ne troverete di ogni a pochi passi dal mare. Nelle ore centrali della giornata è CALDISSIMO quindi dotatevi di ombrellone e sicuramente scarpette da scoglio! Consigliatissimo!👍

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Wild and untouched. (Original) Uno dei posti più belli che abbia mai visto. Selvaggio e incontaminato.

(Translated by Google) It is not a beach but a series of large smooth rocks. Fantastic location, exposed to the sun all day and incredible sunsets. When the wind blows too much it becomes a bit difficult. (Original) Non si tratta di una spiaggia ma di una serie di grandi scogli lisci. Posizione fantastica, esposta al sole tutto il giorno e tramonti incredibili. Quando tira troppo vento diventa un po’ difficile.

Wonderful spot

Super!!!

(Translated by Google) A real gem set in nature, to be seen if you love quiet coves, away from the tourist circuits. The only sore point is the shortage of fish fauna, but the landscape and the transparency of the waters pay off abundantly. As for the nearby Lusi D 'Angelo, here too you have to walk a short path inside the scrub (~ 10 min.), Closed shoes are recommended. (Original) Un vero e proprio gioiellino incastonato nella natura, da vedere se amate le calette tranquille, lontano dai cicuiti turistici. Unica nota dolente la penuria di fauna ittica, ma il paesaggio evla trasparenza delle acque ripagano abbondantemente. Come per la vicina Lusi D' Angelo, anche qui' bisogna percorrere a piedi, un breve sentiero all' interno della macchia (~10 min.), si consigliano scarpe chiuse.

(Translated by Google) The place is very nice, you have to leave your car in the few places available along the dirt road. Then you have to go down for about 500 meters in the woods. The path is not suitable for those with limited mobility due to the uneven stone and clay stairs. But it's worth it. (Original) Molto carino il posto, bisogna lasciare l'auto su nei pochi posti disponibili lungo la strada sterrata. Poi si deve scendere per un percorso di circa 500 metri nel bosco. Il viottolo non è adatto a chi ha scarsa mobilità per via delle scale dissestate di pietra e terra battuta. Ma ne vale la pena.

wonderful spot, lovely and quiet setting

I'm going there every day and it's hard to stand that in winter it isn't opened ❤️

(Translated by Google) I have been coming to Elba since 1973 and many years ago I visited it and it seemed like a pearl and I highly recommend it. Pay attention to the opening hours 😊 (Original) Vengo all’Elba dal 1973 e molti anni fa lo visitai e mi sembro’ una perla e lo consiglio vivamente. Attenzione agli orari di apertura 😊

(Translated by Google) An engaging and compelling visit due to the critical preparation and passionate culture of those who welcomed us with courtesy and respect. A little Elban gem set in a much broader vision. (Original) Una visita coinvolgente e avvicente a motivo della preparazione critica e della cultura appassionata di chi ci ha accolto con cortesia e rispetto.

(Translated by Google) Small but fascinating museum and the explanation provided by the director at the entrance was very interesting and competent and alone was worth the price of the ticket. (Original) Piccolo ma affascinante museo e molto interessante e competente la spiegazione fornita dal direttore all'ingresso che da sola vale il prezzo del biglietto.

(Translated by Google) Small, very friendly museum like our host who took the time to explain to us everything that was there. Well done, period by period in the 4 rooms of the museum, which is full of interesting little stories. As is often the case when we listen to someone passionate about the island's discoveries, we are captivated and the visit is completely different. To do after a short walk in the quiet village of Marciana.. ✨ (Original) Petit musée très sympathique comme notre hôte qui a pris le temps de nous expliquer tout ce qui s'y trouvait. Bien fait, période par période dans les 4 salles du musée, qui regorge de petites histoires intéressantes. Comme souvent quand on écoute quelqu'un de passionné raconter l'histoire des découvertes de l'île, on est captivé et la visite est complètement différente. A faire après une petite ballade dans le village de Marciana, au calme.. ✨

(Translated by Google) Small but very interesting. I would like to thank the museum manager again for the in-depth introduction which allowed us to fully understand and appreciate the cultural offering. (Original) Piccolo ma molto interessante. Ringrazio ancora il responsabile del museo per l'approfondita introduzione che ci ha permesso di capire ed apprezzare appieno l'offerta culturale.

(Translated by Google) Small but very pleasant museum which collects local finds well contextualized by the cataloging. The museum is worth a visit just to admire the highlight of the collection, the small chryselephantine sculpture (gold and ivory) from the Roman era. (Original) Piccolo ma assai gradevole museo che raccoglie reperti locali ben contestualizzati dalla schedatura. Il museo meriterebbe una visita anche solo per ammirare il pezzo forte della collezione, ovvero la piccola scultura crisoelefantina (oro e avorio) di epoca romana.
