Acquaviva beach in Portoferraio, on the Island of Elba

Small, white shingle beach, near Enfola and Viticcio

The beautiful name of this beach likely comes from the presence of a creek, almost always dry in summer, which, with its gravel and some sand, has created this charming shore.

The clarity of the sea, its transparency, and its hues lead us to believe that the old Elbans, struck by such beauty and vibrant colors, wanted to capture the characteristics of the seawater with this name.

The beach, about 80 meters long, is enclosed in a small gulf and surrounded by lush vegetation that reaches up to the shore. It is made of sand and small pebbles and, as mentioned before, is characterized by the transparency of the sea.

From Acquaviva beach, after passing a fresh pine forest, a scenic path along the cliff leads in just over 10 minutes to the beaches of Sorgente (or Acquavivetta) and Sansone.

How to get to Acquaviva beach

The beach can be reached on foot by following a short path after parking your car along the provincial road to Enfola, about 4.5 km from Portoferraio.

The location is served by the local urban bus service (line 7).
