Capo d'Enfola
A headland connected to the main island by a narrow isthmus. A loop trail offers views of the bays on either side, and the former tuna processing plant has become the national park's center.
Capo d'Enfola lies about 6 km west of Portoferraio. A sand-and-gravel isthmus only a few dozen meters wide connects the headland to the main island, with a small beach on each side. The loop trail around the headland takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. It passes World War II gun emplacements and overlooks Sansone Bay and Monte Capanne. The former tuna processing plant beside the isthmus is now the visitor center for the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. The headland is a hotspot for diving and snorkeling, and there is a dive center here. Parking is limited, so arrive early in summer. The trail has no shade, so bring plenty of water.
