Spiaggia Di Sansone, White pebble beach in Portoferraio, Italy.
Spiaggia di Sansone is a white pebble beach located along the coast of Portoferraio on the island of Elba. The small cove is framed by steep cliffs and the water displays shades ranging from bright blue to deep turquoise.
The area served as an important point for ships crossing the Mediterranean since ancient times. It forms part of the maritime heritage of this coastline, where trade routes and local activities were historically connected.
The cove attracts swimmers and divers who come to explore the clear waters and underwater life. It draws many visitors during warm months, making it a lively gathering place for water lovers.
Reaching the beach requires a short walk downhill from the nearest parking area. Good footwear is advisable since the path crosses over pebbles and descends toward the cliff-lined shores.
A natural rock formation divides the cove into two distinct areas with different characteristics. This natural division creates separate swimming zones that visitors often experience as two different beach experiences.
