Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Cala dei Frati (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 Cala dei Frati (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 Cala dei Frati 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.

Nestled next to Ghiaie beach, lies a hidden gem accessible only by crossing over the rocks that separate it from its neighbor. The journey may require some rock shoes or sandals to navigate the rough and slippery terrain, but the effort is worth it. The reward is a serene beach of white pebbles, surrounded by a sea of unparalleled turquoise. Due to its challenging approach, this beach remains peaceful and uncrowded, providing an ideal escape from the chaos of Ghiaie beach. So, if you're seeking a magical and tranquil retreat, this secluded beach is the perfect destination.
