Situated in the middle of the countryside, surrounded by green hills, bridges, farms and agriturisms, it's a place where to hang out on the shores, have a picnic, go for an iced drink in one of the bars that also offer a beach service. Also sunsets are pretty amazing there, since it's poorly illuminated. Only 30-40 min by car away, kind of a paradise, very, very quite!

The highlight for me was the final hike from the most southern town Riomaggiore all the way to Portovenere....8 miles 2500 feet of elevation gain and stunning view after stunning view.

The beach is fine sand and for children a small swimming area is available. You can also get a cabin or only a small locker for your value goods. The small but good restaurant and bar is open from 8am to 8pm and provides daily different lunches from 5 to 15 €. Coffee is cheap as always in real italien bars, so a cappuccino is about 1,30€. The scenery in this beautiful bay is worth a visit when you are around. But you have to climb down steep stairs. I come to this place for years now, even when I speak no Italian and the family speaks only Italian ;-)
