The bay of Marina di Campo is a wonderful spot on the southern side of Elba, and is exposed only to south winds. The bay has a pretty granite sand beach with plenty of options for sporty types, such as boats and pedalos for hire, guided kayaking, windsurfing and various excursions. The sea bottom is sandy and the water is shallow; the view of the island of Montecristo on the horizon is simply unforgettable.
