Morcone Bay is a sheltered Elba bay with easy beach entry.
Morcone Bay is a sheltered beach bay on Elba that works well as an easy learning site with a straightforward walk-in entry. The dive is shallow and relaxed, so beginners can focus on buoyancy and simple navigation instead of route complexity. In summer the water is typically calmer and clearer, while the bay's marine life makes the short shallow run more rewarding than its size suggests.
