About Monterosso al Mare
Monterosso al Mare is the largest of the Cinque Terre villages and the one with a proper sandy beach, a palm-lined promenade and a harbour that makes boarding a boat genuinely easy — which is exactly why it works so well for a first cruise. From here you can see the five villages from the water on the Day or Sunset Cruise of the Cinque Terre from Monterosso, or keep it short and sociable on the Vernazza Boat Tour: Morning, Afternoon or Sunset Aperitif Cruise. Both leave you free to spend the rest of the day swimming, eating and wandering the carruggi.

Frequently asked questions
Monterosso is the westernmost and largest of the five villages, with a real harbour, a sandy beach and a flat seafront, so boarding is straightforward even if you have never taken a boat tour before. Departures head north toward Vernazza and the other villages, letting you see the coastline from the sea before deciding where to walk.
