Average rating4.7Median price$115

Monterosso al Mare is the only true beach town of the Cinque Terre, with a wide sandy shore and a lively old town that feels more laid-back than its cliffside neighbors. It's the perfect base for exploring the coast from the water, whether you paddle along the cliffs on a Monterosso Kayak and Snorkeling Tour: Explore Cinque Terre from the Sea or watch the sunset from a boat with an aperitif, like on the Riomaggiore: Cinque Terre Sunset Boat Tour with Aperitivo.

Frequently asked questions

The best time to book is during the shoulder seasons of May-June and September-October, when the weather is warm and crowds are thinner. For summer visits, book at least a few weeks in advance, especially for popular kayak and boat tours, as they sell out quickly.
