Beach & Nautical
3-Day Itinerary – Beach & Nautical
An itinerary crafted to immerse you in the coastal soul of the Cinque Terre at a slow, deliberate pace. More than just swimming or renting a boat, this experience is about gazing up at the colorful villages from the water’s edge, tracing the dramatic shoreline, chasing the perfect light, and allowing the rhythm of the sea to shape your days.
Suggested Itinerary
Day 1 – Riomaggiore and its small harbor
Spend your first day in Riomaggiore: the small harbor, the cliffs, the pebble beach, and an evening stroll. A sunset over the sea is the best way to start your stay!
Day 2 – Boat tour or ferry
Book a coastal boat tour or take the ferry to admire the villages from the water. While a guided boat tour offers a more immersive, leisurely experience, the ferry is perfect for a quick, scenic journey. Head back to Riomaggiore or Manarola in the late afternoon.
Day 3 – Manarola, the marina, and Punta Bonfiglio
Spend your final day in Manarola, exploring its picturesque marina, rugged shores, and dramatic coastal viewpoints. Wrap up your journey at Punta Bonfiglio, one of the most iconic spots to capture the village and the endless sea in a single, unforgettable gaze.
Good to know
- Water-based activities are highly dependent on weather and maritime conditions.
