Spiaggia di Ortano
Drop anchor off Ortano and you've got one of Elba's most popular stretches of coast right in front of you — 150 metres of mixed sand and tiny stones with that crystal-clear water that makes snorkelling genuinely worthwhile. It's a broad, open beach with plenty of room to spread out, and the setting is relaxed rather than resort-polished. Swim ashore and explore at your own pace.
