Spiaggia di Lacona, Beach in Elba Island, Italy
Spiaggia di Lacona is a 1.2-kilometer beach on Elba Island's southern coast, stretching between Capo Fonza and the Capo Stella peninsula. The sandy bottom extends gradually into the water, making it suitable for swimming and water sports like diving.
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 functions as a protected natural site within the Tuscan Archipelago, home to original Mediterranean dune systems that shape how visitors experience the shoreline.
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.
An ancient pine tree near Ristorante Angiò, estimated around 250 years old, spreads its wide canopy to create natural shade for beachgoers. It serves as a memorable landmark and resting spot for many visitors.
