Punta Nera

Punta Nera marks the westernmost tip of Elba, a dramatic headland fully exposed to winds and currents sweeping in from the east, which makes for a lively, ever-changing anchorage. You'll drop anchor off a rugged shoreline where the snorkelling is genuinely rewarding — clear water, rocky seabed, and plenty to explore with a mask. It's a wild, elemental spot rather than a sheltered hideaway, so check the forecast and come on a calm day to get the best of it.
