Just love it
Family
It is for me the most beautiful beach on the island. It does not offer any services, but that is also the reason that is not so crowded. Above there is a parking space, for which you pay. The water is turquoise and clear.

Gorgeous beach, clear waters! A bit crowded but to be expected in July! Located very close to the town of Portoferraio.

White pebbles (some quite big!), you can always find a tiny peaceful corner. No bars and a swimming paradise for those who like crystal clear waters. No ideal for children or for those who can't walk a large number of stairs (to get to and back from)

Nice beach
Family
The whitest beach. Bring your own snack, umbrella and sunbed/blanket. Nice quiet and beautiful. Great place to swim, get a tan and watch the sunset.
