What to do on the Island of Elba in Spring, if the weather is cool

Your first swim in the Spring

March, April, and May are perhaps the months when the Island of Elba truly bursts into its beauty. The colors and scents of the Mediterranean scrub will surround you everywhere, and the still fresh air along with the sun starting to warm the rocks will be the perfect cure for the stress accumulated in the city.

If you're daring and want to take the first swim, we recommend heading to the south-western granitic side where the temperature, even in March and April, is always warmer than the rest of the island... not by chance is this stretch of coastline called Costa del Sole (Coast of the Sun)!

The first beach you will encounter is Cavoli, a sandy beach made of white quartzite, protected from the winds by the granite hills that rise above it; its wall is famous because, according to regulars, it is the hottest and most sheltered spot on the entire coast: even in February, you can see people sunbathing at its foot!

Further ahead is the beach of Seccheto: out of season, it is mainly frequented by families with children and couples looking for some peace and quiet.

Fetovaia, due to its distance from Marina di Campo and the small valley and pine forest behind it (which keeps it cooler than other beaches), is not very crowded off-season... for this very reason, however, in its tranquility and solitude, it can be considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island of Elba.

The beaches of Acquarilli, Norsi, and Barabarca are also visited in early season due to their southern exposure.

Acquarilli and Norsi, being mostly made up of sandy and small black pebbles, are particularly warm beaches, and Barabarca is enclosed by a bay which shelters it from most winds.

infoelba recommends: Of course, the choice of beaches largely depends on the wind direction, in case of a windy day. By downloading the Elba Beaches app, you can always have the list of beaches with various information, including suggestions for the best and most sheltered beaches based on the weather and wind conditions.
