Innamorata beach

Innamorata is a long beach with beautiful dark sand, sheltered by Punta Pareti to the north and Punta della Ciarpa and the Gemini islands to the south. This protects it from many winds. It is a popular beach with several services.

Every year, on the evening of 14 July, it hosts an evocative re-enactment of the legend that gives the beach its name: the love between two young people from Capoliveri, tragically cut short by pirates. Nearby, at Punta della Ciarpa, a small secluded beach lies below abandoned mining structures; from here, swimmers can reach the Gemini islets.

Beyond the same headland lies the large Grotta del Bue Marino, with a small pebble beach at its far end. It takes its name from the monk seals that visited it until a few decades ago and are no longer present on Elba.

Another small cove lies at Punta Pareti, reached by a steep, unmarked path from a viewpoint on the municipal road.
