Not only artistic beauties in Portoferraio. Even the beaches are protagonists: from those reachable in a few steps to those further out from the residential area. Charm, nature and relax are guaranteed!
Portoferraio owes a lot to the uniqueness of its beaches, among the most beautiful of Elba Island. The choice ranges from city beaches like “Le Ghiaie” and “Le Viste”, appreciated by divers for their crystal-clear waters, to other destinations that can be reached just walking a few minutes more.
“Sansone” beach lies between “Capo Bianco” and “Capo Enfola”. This beach is fairly quiet and intimate, with its silvery water made famous by the perfume “Acqua dell’Elba”. A half moon of pebbly beach, with waters to put Maldives to bitter shame.
“Cala dei Frati” beach too consists of white pebbles and white, coarse-grain sand. From there you can actually see the Medicean Fortresses and Portoferraio coast. This beach is really quiet, as the only way in is via the sea…. just for the bravest!
“Padulella” beach shows all its suggestive beauty in a blaze of turquoise shades. Wild and never too crowded, even during the high season. It is visible and accessible from “Le Ghiaie” beach.
Pastel colored and offering rich facilities, “Forno” beach is named after the neighboring village. “Enfola” beach shows amazing contrasts and chiaroscuro effects with its coarse black sand and crystal-clear water.
