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.

    Super beautiful beach. Smaller, so it will be crowded during the season. Paid parking (10 euros per day). The parking is also small. Sunbeds (set) for 30 euros per day. There is a bar a short walk from the beach (hot food too). Shower for a fee at the bar, toilets free of charge.
    The beach is very nice, kids were snorkeling, lots of fish. If you give them a piece of food, they will come close to you!
    Overall we recommend it, but in high season you need to arrive early in the morning.

    Lovely water, great views and there is a cave pass through that leads to the adjacent Spiaggia Padulella. Very clear waters.

    Difficult to park close to the beach but with nice sand and a great bar close to the beach.
    The water is very shallow so it’s a good place for games in the water and good for small kids.

    Even in September, a bit after the high season, this beach is packed. There are 3 or 4 companies renting umbrellas and lounge chairs. Between them, they cover a great percent of the sand. However, services are convenient (restaurant, buffet, bar, changing areas, toilet). We had to park quite a distance away, up a steep hill. That said, the sand and the sea here are spectacular!

    You can walk up or go by cable car. The walk looks great but not for the fainthearted we went by cable car which was a great experience stunning views especially from the top. Highly recommended really pleased we did this trip whilst on Elba

    With the majority of the beaches I went to being rocky, this fine sand beach was a welcome relief for my feet. It is too commercial for my liking but the water is great and the kids liked renting a pedal boat with built in slide.

    A truly beautiful beach with stunning clear water, particularly around the rock edge. The beach is stone, not sand, but still absolutely incredible. There's also a bar on the beach making it really convenient for refreshments. The walk to the beach is a nice easy one too as some of the beaches can be difficult to reach. One of my favourite beaches in Elba

    The beach was beautiful and we were part of a hotel which kept it from getting too crowded. The water was warm. It was also beautiful. However, once we started snorkeling, we found quite a lot of small jellyfish. They were not a problem for us. Just be careful.
