Spectacular cove, wonderful for snorkelling, a different universe under water, the only thing reachable either by sea or by a not very pleasant path because it seems not to have been used for years with the end to go down to a small beach on a rock wall where you have to maneuver. Parking where you can as in almost the whole island.
As the name suggests, it is the natural extension of Barbarossa beach, but without the chaos and crowding of the latter. The water is so transparent that it seems unreal, with shades ranging from brilliant turquoise to deep blue, the surrounding nature is wild, scented with Mediterranean scrub, with a silence broken only by the rustling of the sea and many seagulls that come to nest on the red barata bank behind, which creates a spectacular color contrast with the blue of the sea and the sky. There is no sign, no bar, no umbrella. Unknown to most people and never crowded, not even in the very high season between July and August. In my opinion, the most beautiful beach on the entire island of Elba.
