Beach overall scores
Puntacorvo beach (La Spezia) region (French Riviera sub-region) is located outside the Montemarcello settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This secluded beach is a true hidden gem, but reaching it requires a bit of effort. To get there, you must navigate a steep descent of 700 steps from the village parking area, followed by a challenging ascent back up. Keep in mind that a reservation is necessary to access this stunning spot, but it won't cost you a penny."
Avery Sinclair
"We highly suggest wearing sturdy hiking shoes when embarking on the 600-step journey to reach this beach. The terrain can be quite rugged at times, but the reward is well worth it. Although it may seem daunting to climb back up the steps after a day of sun and sand, there is a cozy café waiting for you at the top where you can quench your thirst and satisfy your hunger.
