Spiaggia di Fetovaia

Spiaggia di Fetovaia, Beach in Campo nell'Elba, Italy

Spiaggia di Fetovaia is a beach in a sheltered bay on the southwest side of Elba, with fine yellow sand about 200 meters long and turquoise water. It is protected by a narrow gabbro promontory covered with gorse, holm oaks and tall Mediterranean shrubs.

The narrow gabbro promontory sheltering the bay held a watch post in World War II, linked to a position near Le Piane alla Sughera. In 1825 a guard post, the Quartiere Militare, was rebuilt nearby to Luigi Bettarini's design; it later became a private house.

The name Fetovaia, documented since the 16th century, is debated: one reading ties it to the stench of Posidonia oceanica washed up on the sand, another to terra fetuaria, "fertile land". The bay's calm water shelters boats, and behind the beach a small hamlet climbs the narrow valley toward Monte Capanne.

Both free sections and equipped areas with facilities are available, with services like showers and refreshments at the equipped parts. The nearby village of Campo nell'Elba provides additional amenities and services for visitors.

The headland sheltering the bay is made of gabbro, not granite, and was fitted with a lookout during World War II, linked to a position near Le Piane alla Sughera. Behind the beach, in the Piastre and Tombe localities, stand the remains of three lime kilns, one working until 1958, which used the local limestone veins.
