What a stunning locale! The beach is simply divine, transporting you straight to the Caribbean. But it's not just the sandy shores that make this island unforgettable. The town itself is a traffic-free haven, and the guided excursions offer a chance to delve deeper into the island's rich history and natural beauty. We embarked on a morning tour of the museum, town, and catacombs with a knowledgeable guide, and even our little one was enthralled. In the afternoon, we ventured to the abandoned penal colony at the island's core via carriage, and it was a delight. This excursion is a must-do, especially if you're stationed on Elba, a mere 45-minute ferry ride away.

The beauty of this beach is unparalleled, but what truly sets it apart is the limited number of visitors allowed on the island. This creates an authentic and wild atmosphere that perfectly harmonizes with nature. A morning swim is a must, as the bright sun illuminates the entire length of the beach. The soft, white sand is perfect for children to play in. For those who enjoy activities, this beach can be seamlessly combined with the Sud bike trip.
