Liguria \u2013 There\u2019s that moment when the boat rounds the last rocky outcrop: Suddenly, there it is\u2014the small cove of San Fruttuoso, a semicircle of light-colored pebbles, turquoise water, and steep, pine-covered slopes. Right in the middle of it all, its feet almost in the sea, stands a Benedictine abbey over a thousand years old. Hardly any other beach in Liguria is as remote as this one\u2014no asphalt, no parking lot, just the boat or the hiking trail over the mountain. That\u2019s exactly what makes this tiny beach between Camogli and Portofino one of the most special places on the entire Riviera. A place to swim, drift away, and marvel, where nature takes center stage\u2014not the umbrella rental stands.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
