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.

Spiaggia di Sansone lies on the north coast of Elba, about 210 km northwest of Rome, in the province of Livorno, Tuscany. The source records no historical events for the cove itself; it documents only its setting and a mild climate, with an average of 17 °C and about 980 mm of rain a year.

The beach takes its name from a large rock, the Sassone, that stands in the water and splits the cove in two. Bathers use the northern part, while the southern stretch is reached by swimming or by a path over the rocks. The white pebbles are limestone, and the beach lies within the Tuscan Archipelago National Park.

The beach lies at the end of a downhill path from the nearest parking area, and the route crosses pebbles before reaching the cliff-lined shore. Sturdy shoes help on the descent and on the pebble beach itself.

The beach sits in the shadow of the cliffs below Volterraio, the fortress that overlooks the gulf of Portoferraio from its hill. The cove is reached by a short path from the road above, and the white pebbles give the water its pale colour.
