Spiaggia Laconella

Spiaggia Laconella is a sandy beach along Elba Island's southern coast with white sand mixed with larger pebbles, framed by the distinctive Punta Contessa cliffs. The shoreline varies in character, creating different environments for swimming and relaxing across its length.

The beach bears traces of World War II military fortifications, particularly on its eastern section where an artillery battery was once positioned. These structures mark the strategic importance Elba held during the conflict.

This natural beach represents the traditional Mediterranean coastal environment, maintaining its unspoiled state without commercial facilities or organized services.

The beach is accessible from Lacona by following the road toward Marina di Campo and turning left at the first intersection with signs for the Laconella campsite. Foot access to the water is generally easy from most spots along the shore.

A hidden section behind the Punta Contessa cliffs contains noticeably finer pebbles that create a distinct feel from the main beach area. This sheltered pocket remains less crowded and offers a quieter retreat for those exploring the shoreline.
