Latest reviews on Elba island's beaches

Lido di Capoliveri
2 Leo Spine

The beach was terrible. The sand and gravel were dusty. We had to pay for parking, and when we arrived at 5pm, they charged us 15 euros to rent a parasol and two beds for the rest of the afternoon. Additionally, we had to pay separately for a fresh water shower. You had to buy tokens, and each token only gave you about 30 seconds of water. On top of all that, the owner was extremely rude. I would definitely recommend avoiding this place.

Lacona Beach
4 Lena Valtari.

The vast sandy beach is a popular destination for families with children, although it can get quite crowded at times. While it may not be the most visually stunning beach on the island, beauty is subjective and varies from person to person. However, the lack of necessary infrastructure for such a large central beach is a definite drawback. The limited parking and absence of showers are disappointing, but the complete absence of public toilets is a major issue. Despite walking back and forth along the beach and even searching online, no public toilets were found. Inquiries with beach workers revealed that the only option was to use the restrooms at nearby bars. This lack of basic facilities is a serious concern, particularly for families with young children who may struggle to manage such a situation. Adequate public toilets and a few showers are essential components of basic beach infrastructure.

Marina di Campo beach
8 Ariana Alvarado Cruz

While the beach on Elba island is certainly pleasant, it didn't quite capture my heart like some of the other stunning beaches in the area. That being said, Marina di Campo is a charming town that provides a wonderful home base for a short stay.

Naregno beach
8 Aria Anderson

The beach is pleasant, but the parking area is quite a distance away and it's advisable to wear swimming shoes.

Morfone beach

Top!

Cavo beach
10 Lena Novakova

This beach is stunning and perfect for kids to play in the water, but it's essential to wear water shoes as the shore is rocky. We had a great time here for a few hours.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 38 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 29.6°C and water up to 26.4°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 11°C and water to 15°C.
