Welcome to Monterosso al Mare, the vibrant, welcoming heart of the Cinque Terre! Unlike its cliff-hugging neighbors, here you can spread out and relax on the only true sandy beach in the five villages, with its iconic orange and green umbrellas dotting the shoreline. You'll love the easy stroll along the seaside promenade that connects the lively new town, Fegina, to the enchanting medieval old town, a maze of narrow streets and colorful houses. It’s the perfect base for your adventures, whether you're keen to tackle the scenic hiking trails or simply soak up the sun and the crystal-clear Ligurian sea.
