Punta Della Madonna

Punta della Madonna is a sheltered, coastal dive site off the coast near Marciana Marina on the island of Elba. The site typically features a shallow to mid-depth profile with rocky rubble and sandy patches, making it approachable for easy-check dives and drift swims along a gentle slope. Expect clear Mediterranean water, moderate to good visibility, and a mix of small reef fishes, wrasses, benthic invertebrates, and octopus around crevices. Entry is usually from a rocky shore or gentle reef line, with a straightforward exit closer to the surface. The area lies within a calm Mediterranean environment and is commonly visited as part of local boat trips or shore dives for divers staying in Marciana Marina, Sant’Andrea, or Portoferraio. Access is convenient from nearby towns, with divers often combining this site with other Elba dives to explore variations in depth and habitat over the rocky seabed.
