Riomaggiore Beach: A Coastal Gem
Discover Riomaggiore Beach: a natural Ligurian coastline escape with crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing in Cinque Terre.
Riomaggiore Beach, nestled on the eastern side of the village, is a captivating destination for those seeking natural beauty and a refreshing escape. Unlike the sandy expanses of some other beaches, Riomaggiore boasts a unique, rocky terrain that adds to its charm. The crystal-clear waters of the Ligurian Sea invite visitors to swim and snorkel, exploring the diverse marine life within the Marine Protected Area. To reach the beach, follow the signs from the Riomaggiore train station towards the marina. A short walk through a tunnel leads to the picturesque harbor, from where you can take the stairs to the left, winding around to the ferry dock. Just past the dock, the stony beach awaits. While Riomaggiore Beach doesn't offer the amenities of typical resort beaches, its unspoiled environment and stunning views make it a worthwhile destination. Remember to bring appropriate footwear for the pebbles and rocks, and consider bringing a parasol, as shaded areas are limited.

- Bring your own parasol, as there's limited shade on the beach.
