Spiaggia di Sant' Andrea

Drop anchor off Sant'Andrea beach and you'll find one of Elba's most scenic spots — a small cove framed by dramatic granite cliffs with strikingly clear turquoise water teeming with fish. The beach itself has granite sand and some services ashore, so it's worth taking the dinghy in to explore. It's a quieter, more rugged corner of the island that rewards the effort to get here.
