Spiaggia di Naregno, Mediterranean beach in Capoliveri, Italy
Spiaggia di Naregno is a sandy beach on the southeastern coast of Elba Island, stretching between two small communities and mixing fine sand with small pebbles. The shoreline is flat and easy to access, featuring clear water and natural vegetation behind the waterline.
The name comes from medieval times when Spanish settlers used the word Aregno, derived from the Latin term Arena meaning sandy shores. This naming reflects the long history of settlement and exchange around the island.
The beach has long served as a gathering place where fishermen sell their daily catches to waterfront restaurants. Visitors witness how local cooks prepare regional seafood dishes and how the sea shapes the rhythm of life here.
The beach offers rental facilities, beach clubs, sailing schools, and diving centers for various activities. A shuttle bus connects to the nearby town until midnight, making it convenient to visit without a car.
Protected colonies of Pinna Nobilis, the Mediterranean's largest bivalve shell, inhabit the waters near the beach, making this area an important refuge for this remarkable marine species. These shells play a key role in the ecological balance of the coastal zone.
