Piombino town (Livorno) is from where set
out the ferryboats to the Island of Elba.
With a distance of 10 km from the continent
and a size of 224 qkm Elba is the biggest island of the Tuscan
Archipelago and actually the third-biggest of Italy. For many
years now big parts of the Elba Island and of the other islands
of the Tuscan Archipelago (Pianosa, Capraia, Montecristo,
Giglio and Giannutri) are protected in the National Park of
the Tuscan Archipelago

and 17° degree in autumn. The medium water-temperature

The variety of the cost - altogether we have
here a costlenght of 147 km - will satisfy every taste You
can find wonderful sand- stone- or gravelbeaches, some are
also hidden and can be developed only by boat. But even in
the high season you will always find places, which are far
away from the usual tourism.
There are more than 70 beaches on the coastlines
of the island, some very peaceful, others more crowded, but
all of them will, without doubt, offer you a splendid sun
tan and a refreshing plunge into the blue waters of the ocean.
We have listed some of them, but it will certainly be a lot
of fun to discover all the others by yourself.
The Island of Elba is the ideal location for
sports enthusiasts and those seeking an active holiday. It
offers the perfect combination: nature, sea and sport.
