Marina di Campo Travel Guide

Tourist Guide
Marina di Campo which includes a bay or harbour
Enjoy the views across the glimmering Gulf of La Foce as you stroll along the golden sands that cover Elba Island’s longest strand, located in this beachside town.

Marina di Campo is a small township fronting one of Elba Island’s most popular beaches. Stretching for nearly a mile (1.4 kilometers), the beach is comprised of soft golden sands and warm shallow shores. Experience the relaxed atmosphere of this family-friendly township and go swimming, strolling, snorkeling or kayaking. Relax beneath the fragrant pine trees and enjoy the expansive views across the gulf to the charming old port.

Spend some time getting acquainted with the enchanting portside town. You’ll find beautiful old buildings nestled into the forested hillsides that enclose the bay. The magnificent Pisan-Medicean Watchtower rises up from the rocky headlands on the western side of the bay. Admire the pretty façades that look out across the azure gulf waters. Find a seat at a waterfront restaurant or relax at one of the beachside bars.

Make your way down to the beach and feel the soft sand beneath your toes. The sand on the beach of Marina di Campo is fine-grain granite that crumbled from the peaks of Monte Capanne. Wander along the long stretch of beach and take in the views. You can see the Island of Montecristo in the distance, as well as the rugged cliffs of Capo Fonza. Swim or splash in the shallow waters. Take advantage of the watersports activities available here, such as diving, sailing, windsurfing and kayaking. Join a guided paddle around the pristine coastline or work on your sailing technique with a lesson.

Check out the eastern side of Marina di Campo to find a shady pinewood, which has a children’s playground and a camping area. Find your own secret cove within the notched coastline or explore the network of coastal promenades and bike trails.

Marina di Campo is on Elba Island’s south coast. The beach is easy to reach from the center of town on foot or by bike. Explore the town by bus or car. Marina di Campo is a great day trip from Portoferraio, which is a 30-minute drive away. Alternatively, spend a night in this beachside town and experience having one of Elba Island’s best beaches on your doorstep.

pool but no hotel beach
"There’s a public beach nearby (NOT a hotel beach) and the Hotel has a pool. The photo from the air is a bit misleading as it looks like the hotel has a beach with lounge chairs, which it does not. The bicycles, which Hotels.com lists as being free to use, are only free for one hour of use, which ..."
