Spiaggia Laconella, Sandy beach in Capoliveri, Italy
Spiaggia Laconella is a beach on the south coast of Elba, in the municipality of Capoliveri, about 200 km northwest of Rome. Its shore mixes white sand with larger pebbles, and the Punta Contessa cliffs close it off. The beach lies in the Province of Livorno, Tuscany, and the local climate is mild, with July averages around 27 °C and January around 10 °C.
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.
The beach takes its name from the nearby Laconella campsite, the main reference point for visitors arriving from Lacona. It lies in the municipality of Capoliveri, on the southern side of Elba, and has no commercial facilities or organised services, so bathers bring their own supplies. The shoreline is made of white sand mixed with larger pebbles.
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.
