Spiaggia di Enfola
Via Ponte Del Brogi Enfola Viticcio, 6, Portoferraio, Italy, 57037Located on the north coast of the Island of Elba, the Capo Enfola peninsula is characterized by a thin isthmus of land (just 70 meters wide) that connects Monte Enfola (135 m) with the rest of the island, creating one of the most suggestive Elban peninsulas and giving rise to two beaches: one opposite the other.
The north-facing beach is the least welcoming. Small in size and made up of uncomfortable stones, it is almost entirely used as storage for the small boats of local fishermen.
The other beach, the only one on the northern side facing south, towards the Gulf of Viticcio, is the most welcoming and sheltered.
150 meters long, it is made up of medium-fine gray pebbles and divided by a small landing pier, whose docking is only allowed for boarding-disembarking maneuvers, and a buoy field managed by the Amici dell'Enfola Association.
The pier is also used by children and teenagers who enjoy diving.15 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location6
Percorso dell'Enfola

The Enfola promontory is one of the most evocative places on the island, falling within the territory of the National Park.

The tour starts from the road on the right of the Park headquarters that climbs with wide hairpin bends on the side of the hill.
Along the climb it is possible to see some war ruins, the remains of an imposing defensive system dating back to the Second World War, alternating with surprising panoramic views: to the west on the Gulf of Viticcio up to Sant'Andrea and to the east on the white beaches of Portoferraio, the canal of Piombino and the continent.40 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location7
The military structures of the Capo Enfola peninsula were built in the period between the two world wars, as part of the "Coastal Defense" plan that affected all of Italy between 1935 and 1938.
The coastal battery was built to control the stretch of water that separates Elba from the Tuscan coast from Corsica. It was manned by about 200 men and equipped with four cannons with a range capable of covering a firing area that overlapped the twin post at the tip of the Falcone in Piombino.
To make the anti-aircraft parts usable even at night, powerful photelectric projectors were used capable of illuminating the sea in front and the Piombino canal during the day. Furthermore, aerial systems and telemetry turrets were used to target large-caliber artillery pieces.30 minutes • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location
