Fenicia Beach
Marciana Marina
The small town of Marciana Marina, situated on the northwest coast of the island, is particularly picturesque and romantic, especially at dusk as the sun sets behind the Pisan tower which stands proudly over the port (and has become the symbol of this town) before disappearing into the sea between the islands of Capraia and Corsica.
This little seaside town is actually the second smallest ‘commune’ in the whole of Italy.
The ‘Marinesi’ people’s favourite and hence most frequented beach is La Fenicia situated just behind the Pisan tower, which offers every amenity the holidaymaker could wish for. This commune also boasts numerous breathtaking coves and bays such as La Cala, La Caletta, La Crocetta, Il Bagno and Le Sprizze.
The seafront, lined all the way along with tamarind trees and curious boutiques, buzzes with life in the evenings.
The prettiest part of this village, without doubt, is the Cotone – the original old town of Marciana Marina, home to the fishermen of yesteryear.
One date well worth noting in the calendar is the ‘Un Mare di Sapori’, wine and gastronomy fair with tasting of local and national specialities, which is organised by the local ‘Elbavoglio’ consortium in conjunction with the ‘Slow Food’ association and is held every May.
Another is the 12th August, the feast day of St. Claire Patron Saint of Marciana Marina. Thousands of people, locals and international tourists alike, flock here each year to enjoy the event: a special mass followed by a procession along the seafront and the grand finale - a firework display set to music.

Two little beaches on the edge of Marciana Marina, a township whose history probably dates back to Roman times. The Pisan Tower, which takes pride of place behind the larger of the two beaches, was built in the 12th C to guard the port against pirates and Saracens. Beach of large, smooth boulders, sheltered from all but the most northerly winds by its small jetty and rocky outcrop, ‘Punta del Nasuto’.
