Cotoncello Beach

The beaches of Elba
Cotoncello Beach

A little piece of paradise in the shelter of smooth rocks.

Small sandy beach, enclosed by wide, workable cliffs, offers a corner sheltered from winds and currents, almost a natural swimming pool. The cliff originates from a granitic magma, like nearby St. Andrew, and appears smooth and washed out with soft curves. Very busy, offering no services.

Type of beach

Fine gravel and pebbles

Recommended with winds of:

Sirocco Wind (SE), South Wind (S)

How to get there

From the Zanca-Sant'Andrea road, just before reaching the main beach, take a paved road a few hundred meters long on the right, via del Cotoncello. When you reach a pedestrian access after about a hundred meters, you arrive at the beach. Alternatively, you can walk to it from St. Andrew's beach via a beautiful cliff path. Another route, a bit longer and more difficult, goes over the cliff and down through the village houses and vegetation.

Follow the navigator
