One of the main characteristics of this, the largest island in Tuscany, is the extraordinary diversity of the places we encounter. Te 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. Elba’s 147 kilometres of coastline have been divided into four geographical catogories for simplification.
The graph below indicates only the main beaches as listing all of Elba’s beaches would be almost impossible.

This graph will make choosing the perfect beach to pass unforgettable days of sunbaking and swimming, an easier task. 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.

Here gimmicks the best bathing establishments recommended by Infoelba,
whether to spend unforgettable days to the sun to take the tintarella and
to refresh swimming you in the transparent water.
