Boat in Monterosso

boat in monterosso

Just got this photo printed and am very excited about how it came out - too bad the screen just doesn't do justice to the magnificent green/blue tones of the slightly breeze blown sea. It was taken in Monterosso (the first of the Cinque Terre heading away from Genoa and towards La Spezia). This one of the "5 lands" is one of my favorites because it has a great sandy beach and usually has the clearest, cleanest of waters that you'll find in Liguria. You can usually swim out very far and still see the bottom (despite the fact that it's sandy - somehow it doesn't get kicked up as much as other sandy beaches in Liguria).
