Acquarilli Beach

Black sand, blue sea, green all around and above all silenceA truly unique beach, reserved for the naturismIts dark colours lead to the perception of the months of July and August very high temperatures: our advice is to bring you a umbrella and a fridge with fresh water to avoid becoming dehydrated during the hottest hours.

There are no services, no bars, or beach resorts…and that's the beauty of it.

You can park your car in the paid parking overlooking which it is possible to admire the gulf of Lacona and the nearby Norsi Beach.

The route to get there it's a bit steep going down, tiring going up and in the middle of the Mediterranean scrub: suitable for those looking for an experience into the wild!

The fifth of the 5 beautiful but little-known beaches of the Island of Elba is located between Bagnaia and Rio Elba; Nisportino beach represents the perfect compromise for those who want to relax in comfort while staying away from the tourist chaos.

A delightful inlet which overlooks the town of Portoferraio formed by multicolored stones And fine sandThe beach is free but on the left side there is a bar-restaurant which offers the possibility of renting sunbeds and umbrellas.
