The beach at Cavoli is situated within the commune of Campo nell'Elba on the southern coast of the island. 

For many locals and visitors alike, Cavoli is the best beach on the island with its soft, golden sand and beautiful azure waters which can be best seen from the roadside just above the beach. Cavoli is firmly on my list of Must See Elba sights.
