Key features
Beach overall scores
Cala Mandriola (Livorno) is located outside the Cavo settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the Elba island, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is truly wonderful and definitely worth a visit. While it may not be the easiest to reach, it is still doable as long as you don't have too many bulky items. The path leading to the beach is approximately 650 meters long and does pass through some areas with Mediterranean vegetation."
Marco "Lumix" Rossi
"The beach is covered in stones and remnants of Poseidonia, and while the bathroom has a stunning blue background, it also has large white stones. Wearing rock shoes is a must. The beach isn't particularly well-known, partly due to the challenging path leading to it, so it's best to wear sneakers or flip-flops."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Cala Mandriola (Elba island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Cala Mandriola (Elba island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Cala Mandriola for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
