Campo nell'Elba between beaches, hiking trails, and island history

Campo nell'Elba between coast and trails

You can explore Campo nell'Elba through specific natural and cultural destinations. The Sentiero Elba No. 139 circular trail starts and ends in Marina di Campo. The Via dei Ginepri leads from Seccheto to Marina di Campo and partly follows the Vie del Granito network, which leads to ancient granite structures and prehistoric archaeological sites. When planning your day, choosing between Sentiero Elba No. 139 and the Via dei Ginepri in Campo nell'Elba makes a concrete difference. Your travel planning therefore brings together a circular trail with the same starting and ending point, a route between Seccheto and Marina di Campo, and trails with historical connections. You can thus focus your stay on hiking, landscapes, or history and incorporate the different trail routes into your own daily plans.

The surrounding area of Campo nell'Elba also offers a beach-focused experience. It includes Spiaggia di Marina Di Campo, La Galenzana, Spiaggia di Fonza, and Spiaggia di Cavoli.

Pianosa and the catacombs

Pianosa expands the range of possible destinations with an island featuring historical sites of its own. A daily ferry service operated by the shipping company Aquavision connects Marina di Campo on Elba with Pianosa. On Pianosa, you can move around the town freely, including Cala Giovanna beach, the island's only bathing area. The Pianosa catacombs are located in the eastern part of the island, within the town of Pianosa. They comprise around 700 tombs carved into the local stone. This allows you to combine maritime interests and archaeological impressions during a stay in Campo nell'Elba.
