Elba is a huge package tourist venue in the summertime. The most popular option is to take the ferry from Piombino; it takes about an hour. Here is one of the lines that make the crossing:

Here is some futher info; if you want some beach time you might consider the Tuscan or southern Ligurian coast instead...

Thanks, didn't realize it was so touristy. We are trying to avoid that but I would like to see some coastal area, we will be staying in Siena.

There are some nice beach areas on the Tuscan coast that will be easier to access with a car....Porto Ercole, Porto Santo Stefano...

Thanks that is what I needed to know ciao

Able was I ere I saw Elba.
