Spiaggia di Lacona, Beach in Elba Island, Italy

Spiaggia di Lacona is a 1.2-kilometer sandy beach on Elba's southern coast, lying between Capo Fonza and the Capo Stella peninsula. Its seabed slopes gently, and the beach is set in the municipality of Capoliveri, in the province of Livorno, Tuscany.

The name comes from the Latin word 'lacuna', meaning marsh or wetland, areas that were reshaped during Napoleon's time on Elba Island. These changes left a lasting mark on the landscape we see today.

The beach lies in Lacona, in the province of Livorno, Tuscany, on the south-western side of Elba. The surrounding area has a mild climate: the average annual temperature is about 17 °C, with July averaging 27 °C and January 10 °C, and annual rainfall of roughly 980 mm.

The beach offers rental services, diving centers, parking areas, and designated zones for both public and private use. These facilities help visitors find what suits their needs and plan their time comfortably.

The beach takes its name from the Latin word lacuna, meaning marsh or wetland, a reference to the low ground that was reshaped during Napoleon's time on Elba. The sandy shore runs for about 1.2 kilometres between Capo Fonza and the Capo Stella peninsula.
