Riomaggiore harbour

Located at the end of the main street, the harbour opens between the colourful houses descending towards the sea and the cliffs that frame the bay. Traditionally used as a small landing place for local boats, it still maintains this function today. The presence of the typical wooden gozzi used by fishermen, often pulled ashore along the ramp, helps define the identity of the place. From here, visitors can enjoy one of the best-known views of the village, especially at sunset, when the light enhances the colours of the façades.

Next to the harbour area, there is a rocky section used for resting and access to the sea. Continuing along the rocks to the left when facing the sea, you reach a more sheltered pebble beach, one of the main bathing areas in the village. From the harbour, it is also easy to climb back towards the upper part of the village and connect with other points of interest such as Riomaggiore Castle and the Church of San Giovanni Battista.

The harbour is a multifunctional space that brings together several activities, from mooring small local boats to boat excursions and access to the sea. During the tourist season, it is one of the busiest places in the village, while at quieter times it retains a stronger connection with local life.

It can be reached easily on foot from the railway station in about 10 minutes: after walking through the pedestrian tunnel, follow Via Colombo down to the sea, following the natural development of the village towards the harbour.
