Spiaggia di Cavoli

Tuscany

Tucked below granite outcrops on Elba's western shore, this beach has some of the clearest water on the island, making it popular with snorkelers exploring the rocky points at either end. Onshore winds funnel through the bay in the afternoon, drawing windsurfers and kitesurfers. Sunsets here are among the best on Elba, framed by the granite cliffs and open Tyrrhenian horizon.
