The Sea is like an enormous, beating heart and, like a heart, he is moved and expresses himself. Embodied in him is the perfect metaphor of the impulses of the human soul, in calm or storm, he is pure passion! He does not need words, only images to “tell about himself”. The sea of an island is magical and of bewitching charm

Many are inspired and swept away by “his moods and his burbling”. The sea brings us into intimate contact with ourselves, arriving straight to the heart. The beaches represent the privileged places of access to the beauty, the mystery and the depths of the sea. A seashore, often at sunset or in the heart of a starry night, is the silent testimony to rising fondness and sentiments, of love blossoming… The Island of Elba has always been a favorite destination for the crowning of a love story. The locations for celebrating a civil wedding, in addition to the city halls of Elba, are the ancient cloister of the Palazzo della Biscotteria and the sixteenth century cloister of the old De Laugier military barracks, the Linguella Archaeological Museum, the Vigilanti Theater, the Fort Falcone and the English Fort in Portoferraio; the Tower of Appiani in Rio Marina; the Public Wash Houses and the Garibaldi Theater in Rio nell’Elba; and the Pisan Fortress in Marciana. All suggestive places from which to enjoy beautiful views and unforgettable sunsets. Solemnizing your marriage on the seashore, though, unleashes an incomparable mystique that will remain forever impressed in your memory! Many young couples see it as the coronation of a dream. The Island gives us an incredible variety of beaches, each one with its own story.

At present, the towns that offer you the possibility of tying the knot on the beach are Marciana, Capoliveri Portoferraio and Campo nell’Elba. More specifically, in the area of Marciana, we have: the Procchio beach, a long strip of white sand that embraces the crystalline sea; the stunning bay of Pomonte, with its white and gray pebble beach and its intense and transparent green sea, with Corsica far off in the horizon; or, the enchanting inlet of Sant’Andrea, a corner of paradise with aquamarine waters. Capoliveri has placed no limits on young lovers: almost its entire portion of the coast is an ideal location. There are the transparent waters of Lacona with its golden sand beach and unique natural dunes where sea daffodils grow, or Margidore with its smooth black stones and a protected lido that has a small dock for those who wish to arrive by boat; the singular Acquarilli littoral with its intriguing sea stacks and eroded rocks. You might choose the dark gravel of Norsi; or Felciaio with its sand mixed with fine gravel and the extraordinary beauty of the two natural salt-water pools protected from the wind, divided by two massive rocks and the remains of a harbor. There is Pareti and Morcone; Zuccale and Barabarca, Casanova and Naregno… breathtaking scenery and dreamy sunsets to frame the unforgettable moment when you exchange promises of eternal love. Portoferraio is no less, and the numerous beaches satisfy even the most demanding taste. You can choose the sandy shores of Biodola, Scaglieri and Forno, which embrace one of the most beautiful bays on the Island with Mount Capanne in the background; or, the white pebble shores of Le Ghiaie, Capo Bianco, Sottobomba, Sansone along the White Coast, with sea beds that definitely parallel the Caribbean; or, the two beaches of Enfola, one of the most suggestive spots on Elba, whose cliff is united to the rest of the Island by a narrow strip of land; or, the beaches of Schiopparello, Magazzini and Bagnaia, all offering marvelous views over Portoferraio. Campo nell’Elba proposes the trendy and glamorous beach of Cavoli, and the shore of the Paglicce Beach, in the heart of the town of Marina di Campo, with the Island of Montecristo far off in the horizon.
