Cala dei Frati beach in Portoferraio, on the Island of Elba

Small, white pebble beach, with access by sea only

Cala dei Frati is a small beach about 100 meters long and between 2 to 10 meters wide, located between the Ghiaie Beach and Padulella Beach.

Exposed to the north-northeast, this cove is well-sheltered from winds ranging from the sirocco to the west wind. There are few hours of sun available, as it is in the shade in the morning and becomes shaded very early in the afternoon (around 2 PM) due to the high promontory (crowned with villas) that overlooks it.

The beach consists of well-rounded white pebbles and white sand with a coarse grain. The sea has the same characteristics, with brownish rocks that further characterize it. Thanks to the composition of the seabed, the water transparency is truly stunning.

On days with a sirocco wind, the cove rivals Caribbean beaches in beauty.

The view from here stretches from the beautiful Fortresses of Portoferraio to the eastern side of the island, dominated by Monte Grosso, and then to the small rock in front of the Portoferraio bay that completes the picture.

No services are available on the beach, but they can be found at the nearby Ghiaie Beach.

Infoelba recommends: In the stretch of sea in front of the rocky slope that separates Cala dei Frati from Ghiaie Beach, there is a risk of small landslides. It is advisable not to place towels directly under the rocky ledge, perhaps seeking shade, and to be careful even when snorkeling near the shore.

How to reach Cala dei Frati

Cala dei Frati beach is almost exclusively accessible by sea. It is also possible to reach it on foot from the nearby Ghiaie Beach, but you will need to get at least waist-deep in water.
