Aliva Beach in Campo nell’Elba

Cala dell'Aliva (also known as Cala dell'Alga) is located between Fetovaia and Pomonte, in one of the most unspoiled areas of Elba Island and, like the nearby Le Tombe beach, it is made up of dark pebbles and rocks that absorb a great deal of heat from the sun.

Suitable for true nature lovers, the beach has no shade or facilities and is also difficult to reach. About 90 metres long and almost 20 metres wide, more than half of its width is covered with beached posidonia, giving it a wild and natural appearance. 
A fairly steep path leads to the beach in about 15/20 minutes, taking great care especially on the final stretch.
Both the beach and the cliff on the right when facing the sea are frequented by naturists (FKK), who have historically been well tolerated. 

Infoelba recommends: To walk along the path, it is advisable to wear comfortable closed shoes. The use of slippers and flip-flops is not recommended.

The beach is often visited by yachtsmen who, with their boats, have the privilege of reaching it without long walks, although they miss out on the spectacle that nature offers when arriving via the steep path descending from the provincial road.

On the horizon, on the clearest days, it is possible to see the islands of Montecristo and Pianosa.

How to reach Aliva beach

Coming from Marina di Campo, about 1,350 metres after the junction for Fetovaia beach, (or 470 metres after the path leading to Punta di Fetovaia), on the left along a straight stretch of road, there is a small open area where about a dozen cars can be parked. 80 metres before this, near a pine tree located below the road, take trail 173, which descends towards the sea.

The beach can also be reached on foot from the nearby Le Tombe beach, although the walk of about 430 metres over the rocks is not very easy.
