Spiaggia di Sansone
A small cove of white pebbles and emerald water, backed by white limestone cliffs, rated among Elba's most beautiful beaches.
Spiaggia di Sansone is a small bay about 5 km west of Portoferraio, on the east side of Capo d'Enfola. It is enclosed by white limestone cliffs, and its fine white pebbles make the sea look almost transparent emerald. Snorkeling conditions are excellent, and it is often listed among the most beautiful beaches on Elba and in Tuscany. There are no large facilities. From the parking lot, you walk about 10 to 15 minutes downhill along a dirt path. The path is steep and parking is tight in summer, so arrive early in the morning. Bring an umbrella, drinking water and snorkeling gear, or take a boat from Enfola.
