Innamorata, Beach in Capoliveri, Elba Island, Italy
Innamorata is a 290-meter beach combining fine sand with reddish shingle on Elba Island's southern coast. The shoreline faces the Gemini islands, with views that stretch toward Montecristo Island and Capo di Stella on the mainland.
The beach was formerly called Cala de lo Fero and served as a site for iron mining operations. Traces of this extractive past remain visible in the surrounding landscape.
The name itself carries a story rooted in local tradition, celebrated each July with a torchlight procession in period dress. This annual gathering keeps alive a 16th-century legend that is woven into the identity of this stretch of coast.
The beach offers free access areas and equipped zones with rentals for umbrellas, sunbeds, and water sports equipment. Bars and restaurants line the shore, providing refreshments and meals for visitors throughout the day.
Hidden coves and secondary beaches like Punta delle Ciarpe sit nearby and invite exploration. These quieter coastal areas along the Costa dei Gabbiani offer alternatives for those seeking less crowded shores.
