Laghetto di Terranera and the Black Sand Beach

Highlight • Lake

The lake, which is only separated from the sea by a narrow strip, is not a natural lake. According to Elban residents, it is a former mine shaft that has filled with sulfur water. Hematite, pyrite and magnesite were previously mined here. Remains of old mining facilities are still preserved in the bay. People used to swim in the lake because it was supposedly good for the skin, but today swimming is absolutely forbidden for safety reasons.
The sand on the shore of the lake and towards the sea is extremely black and glitters a thousand times over. This is due to the fine hematite and pyrite sand mixed with the normal sand.

Terranera Pond

Highlight • Lake

The water of the Terranera lake has an emerald green color which contrasts with the intense blue of the sea. The lake originated following the filling of sulphurous and brackish water from an old mining quarry where hematite, magnesite and pyrite were extracted.

Reale Beach

Highlight • Beach

Small bay, which is easy to reach from Porto Azzurro (also on foot). The beach is covered with fine gray gravel. Behind the beach is a campsite. In midsummer there is a parking lot problem like almost everywhere on the islands, so be there early.
To the left and right of the beach there are rocks between which you can snorkel well.

Barbarossa Beach

Highlight • Beach

Covered in medium to fine smooth gravel, the beach lies in a narrow, well protected bay. In the bay in front of the village Barbarossa there are several campsites and holiday accommodations. Actually nice for swimming, but in the summer is also quite something going on. From the beach you can see the fortress San Giacomo of Porto Azzurro and the fortress Focardo on the other side.

Barbarossa Beach

Highlight • Beach

This beach takes its name from the well-known pirate Barbarossa, as it seems that he used it as a landing place on the Island of Elba.
