Laconella beach in Capoliveri, on the Island of Elba

Enchanting fine grain, sandy beach between the Punta della Contessa promontory and Capo Fonza

The Laconella Beach is the first true beach you reach after crossing the wild Promontory of Fonza and Ghiaieto, a long stretch of rocky coastline not easy for swimming.

The beach, approximately 210 meters long, is covered with beautiful light-colored, very fine sand. Only on the right side, bordering Ghiaieto beach, are numerous smooth stones piled up, some of considerable size.

The seabed features incredible clarity with crystal-clear aquamarine water, and the sea remains shallow for a long distance from the shore, allowing for refreshing walks and quiet play for children.

Laconella Beach is a splendid and less crowded location compared to Lacona, ideal for those seeking peaceful spots and unspoiled nature.

The promontory of Punta della Contessa on the left, with its picturesque "V"-shaped cliffs, is particularly interesting for snorkeling and appreciating the numerous fish that inhabit our sea.

It is worth visiting on foot by walking along the rocks to admire the large Lacona Beach and discovering the tiny beach of Punta della Contessa. The place is truly charming, probably one of the most unique gems that the Elba Island coastline can offer.

Above the promontory, there are the ruins of a coastal anti-landing battery from World War II, built to defend the Gulf of Lacona.

How to reach Laconella Beach

You can reach it from the road leading from Lacona to Marina di Campo, turning left onto the small road leading to Camping Laconella and following the respective signs. At the crossroads, where there are entrance signs for the campsite, take the right road. Unfortunately, there is no parking, and leaving your car on the sides of the road risks fines, so it is advisable to arrive by motorbike or park in Lacona and proceed on foot.

The trail leading to the beach is on the left, about 250 meters after the campsite junction. It is approximately a hundred meters long and quite rugged: attention should be paid to potholes and cracks in the ground.
