Monterosso is the only village in the Cinque Terre with its own real, full-service beach. The old town beach is directly across from Hotel Pasquale. Beach facilities usually open in mid-May and close at the end of September, but weather permitting, you can swim up to the beginning of October.

You can rent umbrellas and beach chairs from the bathing establishments, or opt to rent a pedalboat or motorboat for a day of exploring the crystal-clear waters of hidden coves
