Nice sandy beach in Lacona. In the morning very crowded and noisy. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby so you don't have to search far to find a place to eat. We didn't find showers, unless in paid service area.

The beach is very cool but the guys operating the blue umbrellas are a bit shifty. We had been coming for almost two weeks, renting two sun chairs and the umbrella for 30€ a day. Suddenly one day they tell us our kids are too big all of a sudden and we need to rent one sunchair more. Funny thing is our two elder daughters (16 and 14 years old) are the same size but apparently only one extra chair was needed. Such greed is a pity.

Lovely beach, busy with lots of families, so don't expect a quiet escape. Good bars and food near by. Parking is an issue, so ensure you get there at a good time

Nice sand beach with shallow waters. The beach can get crowded, so we set up our towels in an area with pine trees immediately behind - more space plus shadow! Parking fees are acceptable (6 EUR/day).

Sandy long beach, very crowded. Not the most beautiful on the island, but tastes differ of course. Very popular for families with kids. Minus stars for the lack of infrastructure for such a wide central beach, parking is limited, no showers. Walked the beach back and forth in search of public toilets, haven't found any. Googled it...haven't found any..or they must be really well hidden. Asked some beach workers, the answer was to use the bars toilets. I wonder how families with kids manage such situation. This is basic beach infrastructure to have a public toilet, and a couple of showers..

Big sandy beach with shallow warm, and not so clean waters. Perfect for kids. Avoid if you can’t handle crowds and thousands of umbrellas..

bit of paradise. i love this place. Sand is clean, sea is blue, on sides are cliffs and on one of them is camping on terraces. nearby buffets are handy to pop for something to eat or drink. sure, bit overpriced.

Top notch. Free parking. A small place to get drinks and some snacks. Not that busy. As always crystal clear water. A 3min walk from the Car park to get here. If the free parking is full about 100m up the road there is paid parking. Very quiet and peaceful beach.

There are two parkings. One is for free but basically always full and one to be paid, for 2€ an hour. One of the parking (the free one) leads to the Zuccale beach while to other one to Barabarca beach. Couple of stairs to go down, the beach is a mix of pebbles and send, there is the possibility to pay to get an umbrella and sunbeds. Also a bar is available. The water is crystal clear! And great sunset!

Great small beach, if you are looking for some privacy and peace. Sand/little stones, some natural shade.

Beautiful clear water and clean beach with a bar. Good step access down from the free car park, and another paid car park which starts charging for the summer from 1st June.

Nice cozy little beach with beautiful clear water. There's a nice bar with friendly young people. Parking the whole day is 6€, 2 beach-beds and an umbrella is 15€.

Our absolute top on Elba. Small and rather difficult to get to but really beautiful and quiet. Fantastic for a swim and some sunbathing. Bring you own umbrella or rent one from the only bar there. If you want to stay away from noise and internet (very lousy connection) do not hesitate.

The beach is nice, clean water, sand but we had other favourites on Elba :)

The sea is clean, no question here. The beach itself is a mixture of sand, dust and dried seaweed. Horrible. There are no pebbles and no clean sand, be aware of that. Also, there is no shower for common folks, only for residents of the hotel village.

Nice beach ,one parking nearby when you find place only if you came at 7 AM and another parkinkg litle bit far away !

Very nice and quiet location. I highly recommend the little cafe at the beginning of the beach. Very friendly stuff and good quality. A great place to end the day with your sweetheart

Go here to have a romantic dinner watching the sun set over the sea

Amazing place, the local guide was really prepared and professional. The story under this rocks are terrible and amazing at the same time, an experience I'll never forget. At some point it was like walking throw Moria, iF you know what i mean...

Aldo from “Safari in Miniera” is an amazing guide! Captivating and very friendly. He was able to show us the mine (the entrance is here but we are taken to Galleria del Ginevro for the visit), share miners’ stories, explain technical details of its construction, life and work in it.. keeping us all and the kids in the group very interested the whole time. A piece of history worthy the visit and seeing!

An amazing place, the guide was filled with knowledge and passion. The tour was comprehensive and unique. One of the best things to do in Elba

Museum closed at 15:00 so we missed that. You can do the hikes or mountain biking without the museum and the hike down to the mine buildings and back up was very nice, 6/10 difficulty as you go down the mountain and back up.

Expensive entrance and nothing special to see. Instead to go with military vehicles as they wrote on description of attraction on the website you have to drive your own car about 20 minutes to entry and all on the roughy, dusty road. Save your time and you car and stay on a nice beach instead.

We came to the place at the wrong time for the guided tour, due to the Internet site not having been updated to the new schedule. Trying to book for some late afternoon hour we were given a couple of phone numbers and were ping-ponged between them with excuses until we started getting upset. At some point these, and all other phones from the organisation stopped answering and avoided even confirming or denying a chance for us, as they had promised. So we gave up. All in all, worst possible customer experience

Good

It's a quiet nice beach. Unfortunately 95 % is private property. So if you are not willing to pay 16 € for an umbrella you can't really find a place to lay down.

Small beach - a lot of private parts - worth if you are not far - otherwise you have better beaches

Nice beach. Parking far away and you need swimming shoes.

Public beach spoilt by Le Acacie hotel bumping their rubbish onto public beach

Beautiful beach with great restaurants

One of the few sand beaches here but nothing special

Nice and quite.

Darker pebble beach with beautiful snorkeling spots you also have 2 beach bars and a pay parking for 8 euro daily or 5 euro half day from 2 pm (like most beaches on the island, you have pay parkings ...)

Small cove sheltered with a few bars/restaurants. Umbrellas and chairs available to rent. Other items like SUPs/Kayaks and Motor Boats are available to rent. From the parking lot one can hike up to a viewpoint of the bay.

Norsi beach has plenty of parking (8€ per day) in 2-3min walking distance. We stayed übrig of the bar. The small black sand stones get really hot during the day so that wearing swimming shoes can be benefitial. Compared to most other beaches Norsi was not crowded at all. The bar has good food for kids as well and the pizza was quite good. The water gets steep quickly, hence not ideal for toddlers. Stand up paddling worked really well because the water is very calm. The toilet situation is not ideal, but that seems to be the case in most beaches. If you don't need sandy beaches, this is a great place.

Beautiful beach, only thing ruining the experience is the grumpy lifeguard

Wonderful beach with an amazing service. Mario will help you get your umbrella and chairs right on the sea, while the bar will provide drinks and food at all the time for a wonderful day with your friends and family.

This beach has dark pebbles and if you’re planning on doing snorkeling I would recommend it only if the weather is good to avoid low visibility

Nice Laguna with adequate parking Spiaggia Di Norsi is a lovely pebble beach with the opportunity to have your own space or rent some loungers with a parasol. A small path leads to the beach which is, sadly, not really suitable for wheelchairs (since Google always asks about this). At the other end of the path is a parking lot offering parking spots for 6€/day or 4€ when arriving in the afternoon. This is in range of most paid parking lots around beaches but on the lower end of this range. Being a pebble beach rocks are also present though, most if not all of the rocks found in the Laguna are smoothened by the water making entering and exiting the sea easy. With the right wind and clear water snorkeling is a nice activity. Just don't expect a reef exploding with wildlife.
