Spiaggia dell'Ottone

Spiaggia dell'Ottone extends 320 meters along the eastern side of Portoferraio gulf, featuring a mix of sand and shingle with shallow waters near the shore.

Two ancient furnaces near the beach indicate its past industrial function, where workers processed limestone extracted from local quarries during previous centuries.

The beach provides direct views of Portoferraio's historical center, including the Medicean Fortress and lighthouse, representing the architectural heritage of the region.

Access requires following the main road toward Bagnaia, with limited roadside parking available and a wooden bridge crossing the beach for pedestrian convenience.

The nineteenth-century Villa Ottone hotel maintains the central section of the beach with equipment rentals, while the outer sections remain open for public use.
