If you're looking for an authentic and sheltered corner of paradise, Cala delle Alghe beach is a must-see during your stay in Cavo. This small bay, located in the municipality of Rio, represents the essence of the eastern coast of Elba Island: lush nature, turquoise waters and absolute peace.
An Oasis of Tranquility and Nature
Despite its name (which derives from the natural presence of posidonia, an indicator of a pure marine ecosystem), Cala delle Alghe appears as a delightful inlet of sand mixed with small rocks and pebbles. It is the ideal place for those who want to escape the confusion of the most famous beaches and enjoy the sound of the sea in total relaxation.
Why Visit Cala delle Alga: Snorkeling and Landscapes
This cove is particularly popular for:
Snorkeling and Diving: The cliffs surrounding it create a perfect habitat for colorful fish, octopuses, and starfish. The clarity of the water makes it a favorite destination for those who love exploring the seabed.
Panoramic View: From the beach you can enjoy a privileged view of the Isolotto dei Topi and, on the clearest days, the gaze reaches all the way to the Tuscan coast.
Sheltered from the Winds: Due to its location, the cove is often protected from westerly winds, offering a body of water as calm as a natural pool.
