The must of the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Poets from the boat

The four little coves to visit by swim

Renting a boat, even a small fishing boat, to visit the Cinque Terre and the Gulf of Poets from the sea will make your holiday unforgettable, look for our guided tours.
Whether a catamaran, a sailing boat or a kayak there are lots of hidden coves that you can reach and enjoy, on a summer afternoon.
Here is our top 5 of the most beautiful bays:

1. The Canneto
The reed is the first of Riomaggiore and after Feral rock, which marks the start of Marine Protected Area of the Cinque Terre.
There are many guided tours to discover the seabed of the park but also for the less experienced, the reed - whose name comes from the reeds that surround the walls of the railway - offers wonderful views to the naked eye. The water is so clear that you could drink!
The reeds, as many of the coves can only be reached from the sea!

2. Punta Pineda
Another beautiful natural bay, also called "The Piscinette" because of the beautiful natural pool created among the rocks of the promontory.
Sea water, stagnating amid the stones but with a continuous recirculation of the waves, and creates a real natural oasis. Here too, just before the Feral rock, the water does not leave room for imagination!
Unlike other areas, Punta Poneda is also accessible through the path from the path of the Cinque Terre, the road overlooking the coast.
however, always preferable to the boat for the lazy,!

3. La Caletta
Moving to the other side of the Gulf, to the coast of Lerici, We find it between the Lerici's Castle and Fiascherino.
A small beach set in the rocks, dominated by a large rock at the center of its little bay. It looks like a Menir, at first sight.
This is what you need: a wonderful swim from your boat to the shore with a mask and a snorkel - for the serious even a small Go Pro would not be bad, to capture the wonderful miracle of nature.

4. Cala dell'Ammiraglio
Not too hidden, but still beautiful Cala dell'Ammiraglio is located in the the southeast area of the Palmaria island - reachable only by sea.
On this beautiful bay overlooking the island's nineteenth-century fortress and the hub of the underground bunkers that dig the whole hill.
Needless to tell you about the wonderful little surrounding explained, alternating with small natural caves visible to swim.
The silence and peace are the key word to describe the place.

5. Le Nere
Last but not least, the black is a mountainous area that plunges directly on the beach between Portovenere and Cinque Terre.
The rock in this strip of land is black and it runs into the sea wonderful making small coves, which are also visible by swimming - for the bravest who dare to venture into the darkness of the coves.
