Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This beach is only a 5 minute walk from the cruise ship port. However, it is actually on the other side of the harbor's peninsula. So, you have no noise from the ships. However, it is the first beach that tourists can get to so it may be a bit more crowded than other options especially in August. For our needs, we found Ghiaie to be very nice. 3 chairs and umbrella rental was only 13 EUR and restaurants and bars were right on the beach. The water was crystal clear, but a bit chilly. Bring beach shoes so the rocks do not hurt your feet.

Beautiful pebble beach! Watch out for the 'medusa' Jelly fish that float in occasionally at Elba
Villa Ombrosa has a private beach here

Beach with stones completely not comfortable with young kids
Difficult for them to play, to walk and to enjoy the beach.

Our hotel was close to this wonderful little beach where you can (if you like) rent a chair and umbrella. Swimming is great here and safe. Don't forget to go snorkeling here! Restaurant Le Sirene has a pretty good pizza, and another restaurant, Busolla, has great ice cream and sandwiches.

This beach is about a 7 minute walk from where the cruise ships dock. You can rent 2 chairs & umbrella for 15 euros. There are restaurants & shops close by.
The water is great and refreshing-- not cold & not so warm that it's not refreshing. It's kind of wavy so fun for kids with boogie boards. It's crystal clear too & you can see the fish (bring a mask for snorkeling).
Overall, loved it. Convenient location, clean, family friendly & good temperature water.

very close to Portoferraio center, it's easy to reach. great for snorkeling (bring some bread and wait 30 seconds ...). Kind of busy and narrow... many restaurants available.

Buonasera! Si può andare in spiaggia con il proprio ombrellone o si devono per forza usare quelli dello stabilimento? E in generale vi chiedo se nelle spiagge dell'isola sia possibile fare questo. Grazie!

Salve, vorrei sapere per arrivare alla cala dei frati ho letto che si passa dall'acqua, ma camminando a riva? Grazie a chi risponderà!
Written 9 August 2017
Ciao Valentina, purtroppo non c'è riva, o meglio ci sono solo scogli ma é un po pericoloso.
Ti consiglierei di stare almeno un 50 metri in mare così da arrivarci tranquillamente.
sconsigliato portare cel e portafogli
