Beaches and cliffs of Sant’Andrea

The sea at Sant’Andrea is famous for its crystal-clear waters and seabeds full of marine life. The sandy beach, about 200 meters long, is equipped and maintained by the Consorzio Capo Sant’Andrea, and the shallow sandy seabed is perfect for children to play safely. It is also possible to book the beach facilities at a reduced rate, to enjoy the beach comfortably and in complete relaxation.

On the right side, a path carved into the rock connects the main beach to the smaller Cotoncello beach, almost like a natural pool with very shallow water—ideal for families with young children. The rocks along the beach offer beautiful views and comfortable spots to sunbathe.

On the left side, a pleasant walk among rocks and wooden footbridges leads to the famous Sant’Andrea cliffs, where the contrast between the imposing rocks and the deep green sea creates a truly unique landscape. Here, flat granite rocks mixed with orthoclase crystals are immersed in crystal-clear water.

Nearby, the coast is a succession of hidden small bays, perfect for exploring with the family and discovering the island’s secret corn

Sant’Andrea also has a small pier for boats, two boat rental points, bazaars, bars, and restaurants.

Il Careno Diving Center

To fully enjoy the sea, we collaborate with “Diving Il Careno”, a reference point for underwater activities. Here you can choose from different diving options, suitable for both beginners and experienced divers, take diving courses to learn or improve your skills, or go snorkeling to explore the shallow seabed near the shore.

Qualified staff ensure safety and support, making every experience unforgettable.

Mare Monti Association

In addition, thanks to our collaboration with the Mare Monti association, we offer daily sailing excursions around the island—a unique way to discover Elba from a spectacular perspective.

During the excursions, a lunch on board with local products is provided, allowing you to enjoy the island’s flavors while admiring the scenery.

The trips are suitable for everyone, from families with children to groups of friends, and allow access to hidden bays and coves, many reachable only by sea.

Iconic bays between sea and nature

The beaches of the western coast

If you are looking for the perfect mix between relaxation and wild nature, the western coast of the island will not disappoint you. A short distance from our property, you can discover some of the most fascinating beaches in the area:

Pomonte Beach

Ideal for those who love snorkeling, thanks to the presence of the wreck of the ship Elviscot just a few meters from the shore.

Fetovaia Beach

Considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, protected by a wild promontory and washed by turquoise waters.

Cavoli Beach

Famous for its white sand and the mild microclimate that allows swimming even outside the summer season.
