On the northern side, rather, is the Marciana Marina, a charming fishing town. Don’t miss Phoenicia beach, characterized by its sea-smoothed gravel seabed. One of the most hidden and spectacular coves on the island is also located here: Crocetta, also known as Le Anime (The Souls). To reach it, you have to rappel down the steep cliff on the stairs, only to be rewarded by a turquoise sea and a beautiful alternation of dark and light rocks.
Marina di Campo is home to the most famous resorts, such as the fine pebble beach of Cavoli and the nearby Fetovaia—two jewels set in their respective bays, always crowded in summer. Of granite origin, the sand is golden in color. Be sure to also check out the large, sandy beach of Lacona.
Capoliveri is an area of iron mines in the Calamita and Ginevro mountains. The largest sandy beach is the Spiaggia dell’Innamorata, on the western side of the promontory, where there are also the small coves of Zuccale, Morcone and Pareti. At the tip of the headland, near an out-of-use pyrite quarry, is the Remaiolo beach, accessible only via a dirt road.
