An enchanting place... if we then consider the people who manage it, or rather they don't manage it, but they welcome customers like family with lots of attention. Great food always available...ice cream...coffee. ..music...late evening aperitifs to watch the sunset, suggestions, in short, a paradise. Daniele and Martina, two wonderful people...Isola di Capraia= Grotta Beach Club. The best of the best...I forgot, something not to be overlooked are honest prices 👍

Seen from above, from the tower area, with the possibility of going down the road that leads to the cave. Breathtaking landscape with the colors of the sea, the Mediterranean scrub and the view of the bay, wonderful

Beautiful little beach outside the port, beautiful sea, but suffers from the constant movement of boats. Capraia is gorgeous!

Even though I don't like the facilities here, I had a good time. Convenience is sometimes good. The managers were friendly and helpful. Good fruit and well stocked for lunch. There are also lifeguards who I have discovered are people I have a lot of respect for. They are there to help you and not just in the water. I met Gianmarco, a lifeguard from Naples, a special and sensitive person. I forgot, the lady who served me the aperitif; little girl, she's really too nice.
