Marina di Campo is situated in the NW corner of the Golfo di Campo, a lovely sandy bay on the south coast of the island of Elba.  The town is the second largest settlement on Elba and a popular tourist resort.  Its harbour is primarily a fishing harbour, but one or two yachts may be able to squeeze in an an anchor moor to the end of the eastern breakwater, where depths are 3.5 - 5.0 metres.  The town still retains much of its charm in spite of the tourist influx during July and August.
