The Costa dei Gabbiani is a wild stretch located on the east coast of the island of Elba, dominated by Monte Calamita and the homonymous trail network of Capoliveri Bike Park. The name derives from the presence of the gull, which lives on this stretch of coast and nidifies it.
The vegetation is composed of high cliffs overlooking the sea (the summit of Monte Calamita, Garitta, reaches 400m above sea level) and many small coves and small beaches, mostly private within the Tour della Tenuta. In fact, when you arrive at Tenuta delle Ripalte, you will not be able to continue with motorized vehicles, at least if you are not a guest of the structure.
