Cala Barbarossa
✨ Hidden gem
Cala Barbarossa is a sandy anchorage tucked into a lush green bay near Porto Azzurro on Elba, where you can drop the hook and swim straight off the boat in calm, clear water. It's the kind of spot that feels quietly tucked away, even though it's easy enough to reach — which means it can get busy in peak summer. The hills above make for great hiking, with trails heading up toward Monte Mar di Capanna if you want to stretch your legs ashore.
