Learn more about Rio

Nestled on Elba Island, this charming town invites you to explore the fascinating Mineral Park with its colorful crystals and mining history. Spend your days between the Museum of Elba Minerals, pristine beaches like Cavo and Nisportino, and hiking adventures through the spectacular Arcipelago Toscano National Park.

The town of Rio Marina is located on the eastern side of the Elba island, nestled gently in a small inlet surrounded by hills. In this area of the island, the coast that stretches from Rio Marina to Cavo is called the "Shining coast,” or “Costa che brilla” in  Italian. This nickname was given to honor the almost dreamlike glint that comes from the black mining dust
