Beaches for naturists on Elba Island

Enjoy the sea of Elba Island naturally!

Elba Island is the privileged destination for naturism lovers in Tuscany who can swim in clear waters and sunbathe without swimsuits in quiet and reserved places.

Lots of small coves, that can be often reached through long paths or only by water, are the best choice for people who search a corner of paradise where can sunbathe naked.

We are talking about beaches that are not typical nudist beaches but areas where the naturism is allowed. In particular during the high season periods it is possible to find bathers with their bathing costumes. If you find families with children it is necessary to use common sense and keep the swimsuit on.

The beaches for nudists are all without services so we suggest to you bring all necessary such as water, umbrella, snacks and use trekking shoes to follow different pathways and reach beaches far away from the main roads (remaining more hidden from the curious).

Here you are the nudist beaches of Elba Island

The most famous naturist beach on Elba Island is the Acquarilli beach, where nudism has been practiced since 70s.

The Acquarilli beach is the first and only naturist beach of Elba Island where naturism is allowed (it is authorized by a resolution n° 309 of 2015 issued from Capoliveri municipality).

The Acquarilli beach can be reached through a footpath in 15 minutes by walk and when you arrive there you can admire a seabed of small dark pebbles.

This beach is divided in 2 parts separated from a big cliff: the first part is mainly frequented by bathers who use their bathing costumes; the second part, instead, is more protected then the other one and it is possible practice naturism without being disturbed.
