Round the western ring road by motorbike

Must seeMarciana Marina, Poggio, Marciana, Pomonte, Marina di Campo

The Western Ring is a coastal road about 45 km long that takes you around the western part of Elba.

It's one of those itineraries you won’t forget, and it's definitely worth trying.

The advice is to travel it in counterclockwise direction so you can enjoy the coastal panorama and many sections of cliffside roads leading to the discovery of some of the most beautiful places on the Island of Elba: dreamlike coves, small villages perched on the mountains, and breathtaking natural landscapes.

Starting from Procchio, a small village appreciated by tourists for its beautiful beach and the particular shape of its bay, you will find the Beach of Paolina, characterized by a small islet just a few meters from the coast, which can be seen from the panoramic terrace of Redinoce. Stopping at the viewpoint, you can admire the panorama of the coast you just traveled, all the way to the Enfola promontory.

infoelba advises: After passing Procchio, remember that the last gas station is in Marciana Marina, and the next one is in Marina di Campo, almost 32 km away.

Continuing along the provincial road, the entrance to Marciana Marina offers a stunning view that encompasses in a single glance Monte Capanne, the gulf protected by the harbor, and the Appiani Tower. In Marciana Marina, don't miss the Cotone neighborhood, a small district perched on the rocks with a charming little harbor filled with colorful wooden fishing boats.

From Marciana Marina, the road starts to climb rapidly.

Through tight hairpin turns hidden among holm oaks and chestnut trees, and the increasingly fresh air, you'll reach Poggio and Marciana at an altitude of 375 meters above sea level. Afterward, it's recommended to stop and admire the panorama from the town's terrace.

After Marciana, a small detour leads to Sant'Andrea, a splendid location famous for its cliffs.

Rejoining the provincial road toward Chiessi, after passing Colle d'Orano, the Costa del Sole begins. This picturesque stretch of coastline, full of coves, cliffs dropping into the sea, sea caves, and beautiful golden beaches, stretches all the way to Cavoli.

Along the road, numerous panoramic spots overlooking the sea offer truly thrilling views, with the Corsica and the unmistakable profile of Pianosa always in the background.

Just before Chiessi, at the extreme tip of Elba, stopping with the car, you'll be struck by the beauty of a magical place: Campo Lo Feno. A wonderful spot where two stone farmhouses and a small open-air theater are surrounded by terraced vineyards sloping steeply down to the sea. A solitary oasis that overlooks a beautiful panorama worth stopping to admire from the road.

In Pomonte, a beautiful village dominated by the massive granite peak of Monte Capanne, it's worth stopping for a swim and discovering the wreck of the Elviscot, which lies off the beach near the Ogliera rock and is clearly visible from the surface.

To enjoy the sea in almost complete solitude, you can stop at the Tombs or Cala dell’Aliva, among the most wild and evocative black pebble beaches on Elba.

Almost at the end of this magnificent itinerary, the road runs along the beautiful golden sandy beaches of Fetovaia, Seccheto, and Cavoli; the latter is perhaps the most famous among young people and a favorite destination for many Elbans, even in winter, due to its always pleasant temperature.

The last stop is Marina di Campo. Thanks to its long sandy beach and numerous establishments, it's probably the most famous seaside resort on the island.
