BEACHES OF THE ELBA ISLAND
The beaches on Elba are numerous, each being quite unique; long beaches of golden sands or tiny stones, equally beautiful beaches of black sand, white pebbles or cliff bases of smooth granite rocks.
Spectacular panorama and crystal clear water make these beaches simular to the caribbean, but second to none.
The depth of most of the waters increases rather rapidly, with the exception of la Biodola, Marina di Campo, Lacona and Procchio where the water remains shallow for for up to 30-40 metres.
Most of the island’s beaches are classifiable as "free". On the main beaches however, bathers will find privately run establishments that offer changing rooms, sun lounges and beach umbrellas on a rental basis. Furthermore, many of these establishments rent a range of equipment for various water sports.
