Spiaggia dell'Elefante

Spiaggia dell'Elefante is a roughly 100-meter stretch of sand at Costa Smeralda with patches of fine sand mixed among rock formations. The clear water offers views of coastal mountains to the west.

This section of the Sardinian coast formed over millions of years through geological processes that shaped its distinctive rock forms. Wind and seawater continually worked to create the landscape we see today.

The beach is protected by local rules that keep it in its natural state. Visitors are asked not to take plants, avoid smoking, and leave no plastic waste behind.

You can reach it by walking about 400 meters west from Spiaggia La Celvia or by a one-kilometer coastal walk from Spiaggia Capriccioli. Both routes let you explore the wider area on foot.

The name comes from a natural rock formation that looks like an elephant. Centuries of wind and water erosion carved this distinctive shape into the stone.
