I absolutely adore this beach on the Island of Elba! It's a hidden gem that's small in size, making it perfect for those who prefer a peaceful atmosphere with few people around. The beach is strategically shaded, providing a comfortable spot to relax and unwind. Additionally, there's a restaurant and bar that offer scrumptious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The water is simply divine, and it's no surprise since the entire island boasts of pristine beaches. This beach is the epitome of relaxation, and I urge you not to be deterred by the dirt road leading to it. Parking is available along the street or for a reasonable fee of 6 euros for the entire day. It's the ultimate beach experience that you don't want to miss!

It's difficult to deny the beauty of this beach. After a short drive down a bumpy dirt road, you'll arrive at the Straccoligno beach. The journey adds an adventurous element to the experience. For a small fee of 6 euros per day, you can park your car and enjoy the spacious sandy beach. The beach is adorned with charming straw umbrellas that transport you to the tropical paradise of Zanzibar. Additionally, there is a comfortable bar with reasonable prices. The water is as stunning as ever, and the beach is sprinkled with tiny pebbles.

The picturesque bay offers a breathtaking backdrop of the majestic mountains. The beach is well-equipped with a seaside bar-restaurant, surrounded by a lush pine forest, and convenient amenities such as restrooms and showers. It is easily accessible by car, albeit with a daily parking fee of 6 euros. The crystalline waters are pristine and transparent, perfect for a refreshing dip.

The stunning shoreline boasts a plethora of amenities, including a restaurant and parking area, with a daily fee of 6 euros. This beach is the ultimate destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat, as it is the final accessible beach by car. The subsequent beaches can only be reached via a dirt road and are closed off by a bar. However, if you are well acquainted with the access barrier manager, you can access them on foot or by bike. The tranquil waters of the beach are crystal clear, providing a serene environment for relaxation.
