The beach is lovely, although it's covered in stones instead of sand. It's conveniently located near Portoferraio's center and offers a stunning view. The white stones and overall conditions are great, making it a beach worth loving.

The water is crystal clear and stunningly beautiful, with an abundance of fish visible to the naked eye. It's a perfect spot for snorkeling enthusiasts. The beach is pebbly, but it's free and open to the public.
