Spiaggia delle Ghiaie

The beach stretches for 280 meters along the northern coast of Portoferraio, characterized by small white felsite pebbles and clear blue Mediterranean waters.

The location served as a vital maritime trade point throughout centuries, connecting the island of Elba with mainland Italy through the natural harbor of Portoferraio.

The beach holds significance in Greek mythology as the reported landing site of the Argonauts, whose legend states their sweat transformed the pebbles to their current color.

The beach provides rental services for umbrellas and chairs, features multiple bars and restaurants, and includes facilities such as a playground and garden area.

The waters belong to the Scoglietto Marine Reserve for Biology Protection, where visitors can observe numerous fish species in their natural Mediterranean habitat.
