Acquarilli — naturist beach
Capoliveri, Elba, Tuscany
Dark sand and black pebbles beneath steep green slopes on Elba’s southern coast. The cove is divided by a low rock outcrop, with the designated naturist stretch on the southern side.
Nudity policy
Clothing optional in the naturist area
Capoliveri designated the southern side of Acquarilli for naturism. The recognised stretch is around 220 m; use its current signs and do not confuse it with neighbouring Norsi.
This is a public beach with mixed use; naturism does not make neighbouring streets, car parks or access paths clothing optional.
Facilities
No facilities on site.
Approach parking and amenities on adjoining textile beaches are described in the directions, rather than counted as facilities within the nude area.
Access & visiting
Public pedestrian beach access; no accommodation booking or naturist membership is required. Any car-park charge or seasonal transport reservation is separate.
Age & supervision
No numerical minimum age or explicit under-18 admission statement was found in the checked sources; this listing is not included in the Family friendly filter.
When to go
Open coast. Summer transport, parking arrangements and any seasonal beach services follow the current local timetable.
Directions & Parking
Getting there
From the Portoferraio–Porto Azzurro road take the Lacona turning, pass the Norsi beach signs and continue to the headland parking viewpoint.
Parking
A small paid parking area overlooks Acquarilli and Norsi; there are only limited lawful roadside spaces. The bar is at the top, not on the nude beach.
Finding the naturist area
Looking out to sea from the viewpoint, take the path on the right down towards Acquarilli. It descends roughly 100 m and is steep in places; the final route is a natural footpath, not steps or a road.
