Elba's most beautiful beaches
Here are our tips regarding the most beautiful beaches of the Elba Island: a ranking made by Rosselba Le Palme
The island of Elba is a trove of natural treasures, as well as having a vast gastronomic tradition, next to architecture and history.
Mother Nature has been extremely generous with our island. She has given us lush vegetation and beautiful hills, beaches with sand like talcum powder, blinding white pebble beaches, cliffs of rocks or granite, all surrounded by waters as clear as spring waters. With colours that turn the sea green to turquoise, up to the ultramarine blue, to be found in the depths offshore.
On the 27 km long island there are more than one hundred beaches. Each one is different from the other, when you come to visit us you will be spoiled for choice and your days will not be enough to discover them all!
You can choose them according to your taste and, above all, based on the winds that beat the island day by day; Elba is, in fact, the perfect size to move easily from one coast to another - even within a day - to choose the perfect beach, sheltered from the currents.
Now let us see which beaches are the most beautiful and, in our opinion, you absolutely should not miss:
Padulella is a pebble beach smoothed by the coming and going of the sea on the shoreline, it is located in the north of the island, between Capo Bianco and Portoferraio, just over 10 km from Rosselba Le Palme.
Recommended - like all northern beaches - on Sirocco days.
At Capo d'Enfola there is a very unique beach on the Island of Elba; to be exact there are two beaches and one is closer than the other, because we are talking about the only isthmus on the island.
A strip of sand shoots out from Viticcio and Acquaviva (where you find the Sansone and Sorgente beaches) to stand out against the blue of the sea and the sky in the shape of the verdant Monte Enfola.
Going along the loop path you can reach an old restored tuna fishery, now home to the Tuscan Archipelago National Park, here you can enjoy one of the most fascinating views of the island.
Of the two beaches, the one facing south is more suitable for bathers while the other is used to moor fishing boats.

From the top of the Enfola promontory (135 m above sea level) the eye goes off to the side and along the coast, until they reach Capo Sant'Andrea.
Leaving the northern slope and pushing to the west you cannot miss Sant'Andrea beach, where the scenery changes and turns from pebble beaches to round rocks and rocky bottoms that host numerous fish schools easily viewable with a mask and snorkel.
TIP: once you reach Sant'Andrea beach, do not stop on the coast but go beyond the rocks on the right, looking toward the sea: you will find a path along the rocks, a walkway that runs along the walls; here you will be transfered into an enchanted paradise.
Recommended are rubber shoes for the rocks and avoid sea urchins!
One must not forget Fetovaia, on the Island of Elba, when listing its most beautiful beaches.
This beach is not only suggestive but also interesting in its naturalistic context: Punta Fetovaia is a promontory kissed by the sun, covered with fragrant Mediterranean scrub that enriches the variety of colors present in this enchanting palette.
The beach here is golden and of fine sand, loved by those who prefer this feature over gravel or rocky pebbles. Its position also makes it sheltered from all the winds that caress the island; for this reasons you will always find a bit of a crowd, but once you take a dip in the water you will become so immersed in the beauty of the place that only wonder will remain.
This beach is the wildest of those listed so far: it is located in the south of the island, not being equipped it is little frequented and offers an intimate contact with the surrounding nature.
Its sand is white and very fine, bordering on coarse gravel on one side and the striking Contessa peak cliffs on the other.
The white backdrop stands out even more because of the clarity of the water, which takes on aquamarine shades giving a play of reflections to leave you breathless.
This beautiful beach also offers the opportunity to see old remains from World War II and to take a stroll to the tip of the Contessa and its small beach secluded from the rest of Elba.
Now it is up to you to come and visit us and draw up your own list of the most beautiful beaches on the Island of Elba .
September is the ideal time to visit our beaches: the winds and the sea are calmer and the beaches less crowded ... we are expecting you !

Now let us see which beaches are the most beautiful and, in our opinion, you absolutely should not miss:
Padulella beach
The most fascinating features of the Padulella beach are the white cliffs that touch it and surround it with a dazzling light; the white of these walls, dotted here and there with the colours of the Mediterranean scrub, is reflected and stands out against a play of dazzling colours.Padulella is a pebble beach smoothed by the coming and going of the sea on the shoreline, it is located in the north of the island, between Capo Bianco and Portoferraio, just over 10 km from Rosselba Le Palme.
Capo Bianco
It is not difficult to imagine where the name of this beach comes from; bordering Padulella it shares the same cliffs and colour, which continues from the walls to the beach and the seabed, until it becomes almost unbearable to the eyes, for its light and its beauty.Recommended - like all northern beaches - on Sirocco days.
Capo d'Enfola
At Capo d'Enfola there is a very unique beach on the Island of Elba; to be exact there are two beaches and one is closer than the other, because we are talking about the only isthmus on the island.
A strip of sand shoots out from Viticcio and Acquaviva (where you find the Sansone and Sorgente beaches) to stand out against the blue of the sea and the sky in the shape of the verdant Monte Enfola.

Totally tropical trip
Totally tropical trip
We stayed here in a cabin/static caravan thing and it was great. The staff were Really great and could you get out site is arranged in a valley full of lush tropical vegetation with the entrance at the bottom in the middle surrounded by reception, the bar, the restaurant and the super market (good value). If I was staying there again, I’d go for the top end safari tents which have the best place on the site in that they are near the pool and have lovely view down the valley. The restaurant is ok, the bar is fine and serves good lunches but the pool with its slides is great. Elba has loads of amazing beaches with excellent snorkelling conditions. Be aware that many beaches are pebbles so take rubber shoes. We drove and stopped in Obernai, Lugano and near Parma before getting to the ferry. By the way get to the ferry on time or it will leave! Elba is amazing and we all loved it.

Well Managed and Manicured Campsite
Well Managed and Manicured Campsite
Large Family Campsite 15 mins from Portoferraio on the Isle of Elba. The site sits in a steeply side valley covered in a lush woodland providing huge amounts of shade and cover over all the pitches. A mix of camping pitches, camper and motorhomes pitches and lodges plus other facilities including large pool with slides, children’s pool, restaurant, shop and tennis court. Programmes of activities are also available. There is also a little minibus which ferries people to the local stony beach about 500ms away and a programme of evening entertainment at the pool. Toilets (mainly European style) and showers are placed around the site and rarely busy. Cleaned regularly. Very popular with the Dutch and families with a well stocked shop and pleasant restaurant with inside and outside facilities.Main issues are that the campsite is very stepped sided so walking from the bottom to the top for older people or those with mobility issues and possibly young children unless in buggies. Getting the right pitch is worth some researchThe roads are steep and narrow so parking can be tricky and movement around the campsite for larger mh’s and camper vans needs care. Additionally access to your pitch can sometimes be tricky due to parking on the access roads.Finally the location is beautiful with a great view over the Bay and parts of Elba but there is no village or restaurants nearby to walk or promenade to in the evening without moving your vehicle. The nearest places, Portoferrairo or Porto Azurro are 15 mins drive or a taxi ride away.

Amazing family holiday
Amazing family holiday
We stayed in a Diamante and are a family of 4. Our pitch was ideal for us being close to the swimming pool and near the amenities of the campsite. We thoroughly enjoyed the lamination which was excellent for the kids. It was all very welcoming. I would come back again and recommend to other families.

Fabulous place, great for families
Fabulous place, great for families
We spent 10 days here (two adults and two children) in a Diamante bungalow. It was an excellent accommodation, fully equipped with all we needed, and very comfortable. Great view from the veranda, the breeze was constant and much welcomed (we also had A/C inside which in the heatwave we experienced was a life saver). The village is very safe, our two children (5 and 7) could easily go from the bungalow to the baby club without any concern. One other point of excellence is the staff that manages the entertainment: OUTSTANDING!! the girls in charge of the baby club (4-12 years old) were amazing, children loved it, they had many activities and the international aspect of the village made for a great mix of languages and culture. We will definitely go back! There is a mini market in the village, fully stocked with all you may need at very normal prices, but in any case a larger convenient store is only 5 min drive away. The only thing that is not super is perhaps the beach, it's a public one, not too far, it is quite small and the sea is not the best of Elba. We didn't mind that at all as we spent most of the time at the pools.

Respect for the animation team!
Respect for the animation team!
Stayed for 2 weeks in a Diamante chalet with my family of 5. The chalet is small, but big enough because we can stay outside on the terras because of the beautiful weather. The chalet has airco and that's great at night as temperature doesn't drop below 20 degrees. On forehand we did not know what the inventory would be and we expected a dishwasher , that was not present. Not a big problem of course. There is a very nice swimming pool with 3 slides that the kids loved. The slides close between 13 - 15, but the swimming pool stays open. Everybody wears a cap, at first it's a bit strange, but you get used to it soon. I would specifically like to mention the Just Friends Animation Team with Emanuel, Nunzio, Yuna, Matteo etc. that made this holiday unforgettable. They make you feel at home straight away and they work their ass of to give everyone a good time. Elba is beautiful, loved it here!
