Spiaggia del Cannello

Drop anchor off this wild, untouched beach tucked inside the Calamita mining area on Elba's southernmost tip, known as the Costa dei Gabbiani. The 350-metre stretch of gradually fining pebbles sits alongside a handful of smaller coves, making it worth a slow explore once you're in the water. It's genuinely off the beaten track compared to most of Elba's beaches, so you'll likely share it with far fewer people than you'd expect.
