Is the beach good for sunbathing?

La Ripa beach (Elba island) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all La Ripa beach (Elba island) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the La Ripa beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.

2 Very poor

The beach is inaccessible as the path leading to it is overgrown with plants, making it difficult to navigate. The only view of the beach is from a nearby cliff, but there is no way to actually reach it.

This beach is stunning and often deserted, but getting there can be a bit of a challenge.

10 Exceptional

This secluded beach boasts crystal-clear waters and plenty of privacy, with only a handful of people around. During our visit in September, it felt like we had the entire beach to ourselves. However, it may be a bit challenging for children and older individuals to access, so it's best to wear appropriate footwear. Arriving early is also recommended, as the sun disappears quite early in the afternoon.

The beach boasts a stunning granite spur and a breathtaking fjord that can be accessed via a path through the Mediterranean scrub. It's worth noting that the beach is open to the public with free entry.
