Tour aimed at everyone who wants to spend a day at sea and get to know the Island of Elba from a unique point of view!
Starting from Marciana Marina, depending on the weather conditions, we will paddle 3 hours along the coast to the west towards the beach of Cala di Sant'Andrea or along the coast to the east towards the Island of Paolina, choosing one of the beaches of the Gulf of Procchio or of the Gulf of Biodola (with 3 stops).

La Cala beachis very pretty and sits in the north eastern side of Elba, in the hamlet that bears the same name, between Marciana Marina and Sant'Andrea.
It is a beautiful beach that is set like a jewel in one of the greenest and lushest coasts on the island.
Since it is neither easy to find or even to get there, La Cala beach is always very quiet, and even in peak season it is perfect if you want peace and quiet to relax.
We stop here for a swim!
3
The tiny beach of Cotoncello sits right inside the gulf of Sant'Andrea but on the opposite side.
This beach, consisting of white sand, sits in a beautiful, tiny inlet and is yet another jewel along the coast of Elba, and can be described as a "sitting room" for swimming and sunbathing in.
It is surrounded by smooth, white granite cliffs that connect it to the beach of Sant'Andrea.
We stop here for lunch and sure for swimming!
4
This beach is very nice, since it is made up of light grey, granite sand and the sea is turquoise and crystal clear.
There are several bars and restaurants right on the beach.
We stop here for take a break before the return.
