Sea and
outdoor activities

A 360° experience

The sea may be deep where it laps the cliffs, but not so much as you get closer to comfortable beach destinations: Cavo and Arenella in Porto Venere, Terrizzo, Punta Secco, the Carlo Alberto coast, and Fornace and Pozzale on Isola Palmaria.
Swimming is, of course, the most popular outdoor sport.
By the way: exceptionally, during the summer, the Porto Venere channel is closed to navigation, turning into a large open-air swimming pool. This event is called "Natural Pool," a day of celebration of freedom, fun and love for the sea. During this celebration, both residents and tourists can enjoy a safe and spectacular swimming area, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Ligurian coast.

How else can you experience the sea in the beautiful village of Porto Venere?
