10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Elba Island That You Shouldn't Miss
Best known as the site of Napoleon’s exile, Elba’s long history stretches back to pre-Roman times, when it was settled by Ligures and then Etruscans. It’s Tuscany’s biggest island and Italy’s third-largest, offering a great mix of options both cultural (like hilltop towns and castles) and recreational (like hiking, biking, swimming, diving and beaching). There’s an airport at Marina di Campo, but most arrive by ferry from Piombino to Portoferraio (the biggest town), Rio Marina or Porto Azzurro.

Spiaggia di terranera is a curious place where a small lake lays close to a beach, where in old times iron mines used to work minerals.... shining and black sand is the most unique feature of this beach, reachable 5 minutes easy walk from the car park. Access to seawater is not so comfortable, but water is crystal clear and you can see octopus, squid, starfish.... Really a beautiful place!!
