Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Punta Polveriera (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 Punta Polveriera (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 Punta Polveriera 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.

This serene pebble beach is of moderate size and exudes tranquility. Although it may be a bit challenging to access, the effort is well worth it.

Punta Polveraia, also known as Spiaggia Della Guardia, is a hidden gem of a beach that requires a bit of a trek to reach. After parking on the street (make sure to avoid the striped areas to avoid a fine), a gentle but steep path leads to the beach. The beach itself is not equipped, but it boasts a stunning view of the sea and unique black stones that radiate heat. The water is crystal clear and teeming with marine life, making it a must-visit spot for snorkeling enthusiasts. Be sure to bring a mask, fins, and snorkel to explore the deep waters along the rocky shoreline. However, be cautious of jellyfish during your aquatic adventures. Overall, Punta Polveraia is a beautiful and natural beach that is worth the journey to experience.

This hidden pebble beach boasts a tranquil atmosphere, perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape. Although shade is scarce, the steep descent adds to the secluded feel of the beach. Snorkeling enthusiasts will be delighted to discover a diverse range of fish in the shallow, oxygen-rich waters. On days when the north wind blows, children can enjoy letting off some steam in the gentle waves (water shoes are recommended).

The journey through the forest leading to Patresi beach is a breathtaking experience. The unique feature of this beach is its positioning towards the north, resulting in ample shade throughout the day. Due to its peaceful atmosphere, you can effortlessly switch between the sun and shade as per your preference.
