Kayak in Elba IslandEdited by texts the firm Tourist Promotion of the Tuscan archipelago Who loves the sea and the excursions in kajak, who has the passion to tack long rocky coasts, to look through among the cliffs and to discover beaches or calette set in the Mediterranean stain doesn't have doubts: its preferred landing is the island in Elba. Following the itinerary that we propose is obviously recommended under conditions optimal meteomarine and to the experienced apprentices and trained.
1. The south-western coast in kayak: from Marina of Field to Procchio Point of departure: Marina of Field. From the splendid beach of Marina of Field
we make rout toward southwest in direction of
the gulf of Galenzana. The "bagnolo",
a shoal that during the low tide it escapes
completely from the sea, it doesn't create problems
to our canoes that slip agile and fast in a
palm of water.
Overcome head Pore the tall and rocky coast he/she leaves the place to some spiaggettes of stones that you/they invite to a dive. The bluff of granite does him candid and here is the Blue cave: sea transparent and extraordinary games of light. We overcome the gulf of Cabbages, the sandy beach of Seccheto, discovers the white and scenografico beach of the "Caribbean" Fetovaia. Doubled the point, as usual the Elba catches
us: from the white and black with the long series
of beaches of the Graves, then the rock-cliff
of the Ogliera with the wreckage sunk on a clear
backdrop to few meters deep. To the horizon
other islands, the near Pianosa and the unmistakable
cone of Montecristo float.
Left the imposing bluff of the Big-nosed one to the shoulders unthread in front of Marciana Marina (of obligation a standstill!), with his/her tower and on on aloft the chestnut trees of the Huts. Then we double Point of the Crocetta, we circumnavigate the rock-cliff of the Paolina and we finish our excursion on the great beach of Procchio.
2. The south coast: from Marina of Field to Lacona The itinerary is recommended under conditions optimal meteomarine and to the experienced apprentices and trained. Point of departure: Marina of Field. From the beach of Marina of Field pagaiamo
toward the left side of the gulf and we slip
between the coast and the islet of Porto Caccamo:
the sea kayak with his/her meeting place pescaggio
is the only boat able to pass "uninjured"
among the rocks semiaffioranti.
But we take back our itinerary. The sea is of emerald and the aromas of the Mediterranean stain they invade the air. Here is the enchanting caletta of the Ischia with two small beaches of gravel set as precious stones in the pink granite. More before we meet the Rota, a to follow him of microinsenature dug in the black rock. Through the gulf of Fonza and doubled point of the Priolo we reach the Longio, where the innocence of the granite exalts the turquoise of the sea. The impending valley of the King evokes archaic legends of the island past.
You continues for the shoal of the Corallines, an enormous column of granite that sinks up to 73 meters in a sea rich in life and from the exceptional transparency, where the elegant marangonis often dip him "flying" literally sott'acqua to the search of preys. The delicious spiaggetta of the
Heaven, inaccessible to boats and rafts, it
is the ideal landing par a bath or a standstill
to the shade of a beautiful cave. Shortly after
here is the cove of the hell, that entertains
a great colony of gulls and a backdrop rich
in posidonia, ideal Habitat for a lot of kinds
of fishes. These are alone some of the tappes in which it is possible to divide the periplo of the island. The Elba sottocosta has in Serb other surprises you come to discover her. |

on the right the rock-cliff of the Mullet raggingiamo
the Ripa Nera and then the cove of the Fig tree

small cave it entertains a source of sweet water
