Nice big sandy beach! Not worse than Cavoli, if you want more space and some waves- it's perfect!

Mount Capanne, is a hiker's paradise and a must-visit for nature lovers. The highest peak on Elba, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding sea and islands. Whether you're a photographer, an adventure enthusiast, or simply seeking a peaceful escape, Mount Capanne is an unforgettable destination. For a comprehensive travel guide, I recommend "ELBA ISLAND" This guidebook covers not only Mount Capanne and Elba but also provides in-depth information on the broader Tuscany region, including practical tips, detailed maps, and cultural insights that will enhance your travel experience.

We were with #Bigfoot and #Littlefeet at Pomonte Beach directly opposite the shipwreck of the Elviscot, a small merchant ship that ran aground on the reef there in 1972 and gradually sank. It's a small beach and you should get there early. It's right next to the rental shop for subs, pedal boats and beach chairs. Opposite, on the way up to the coastal road, there is a small, well-stocked kiosk with original photos of the sinking of the Elviscot. There's also Aperitif Spritz, Prosecco and everything your heart desires when it's 35 degrees in the shade. From the beach you can swim across to the reef and snorkel quite quickly. Good visibility and lots of colorful fish have taken over the reef. Every two hours a tour boat comes with 50-80 tourists on board, who then go into the water. In general: swimmers should be careful because there are lots of boats and other floating objects around here. If you come here with children, you should rent a pedal boat. The trip is fun and one person can stay on board while the others swim and snorkel. You should watch out for the current from the northwest, which is quite strong. What is the best way to get to the beach? There are two ways to get there. If you are coming by car from Marina del Campo, for example, you will find a small car park on the Küdtenstrasse just before Pomonte on the left-hand side and then, in the bend a little further on, there is a sign for a somewhat steep footpath that takes about 10 minutes and takes you past the kiosk. It is easier if you are travelling by car, because you drive to Pomonte and turn left at the main intersection (the church is on the right) and drive towards Pomonte Beach and then turn left at the bottom. A small but steep bridge takes you to the car park of the shipwreck beach. Here it costs an hour There is a parking lot in Pomonte and also on the right at the exit of the town towards Marina del Campo, which was free for us because the parking machine was broken. Of course you can also park on the coastal road above the town (for free) in the hope that you won't get caught by the police. All in all, one of the best beaches on the island. Definitely highly recommended!

Spent a wonderful morning here, hired two chairs and an umbrella for 30€. The beach was very quiet early in the morning and became busier as the day went on but remained very relaxed and low key. Can buy coffees and drinks at the bar. Water is crystal clear, pebbly on the shore but sandy a few metres from the shore line.

Straight up and steep, but trekking not rock climbing. The church was open and quiet. Views on the path are fantastic. Across the sea to Corsica! Stations of the Cross along the way in varying degrees of disrepair but clearly the Stations! We took about 1 hour 20 minutes up and back, but a good 25 minutes on site above. This is not a path for one who has health issues. It is about 1.8 meters directly upward.
