Spiaggetta del Porticciolo

Spiaggetta del Porticciolo is a tiny, tucked-away gem — less than 40 metres of mixed sand, gravel and rocks on the island of Elba, so small it rarely gets crowded. You can reach it by anchoring off and swimming in, or hike down via the Sentiero della Salute trail from Biodola toward Procchio if you fancy stretching your legs. The water shifts through shades of emerald and turquoise, making it one of those spots that looks almost too good to be real.
