Hiking to Monterosso al Mare

The trail between Vernazza to Monterosso is only 2.5 miles, yet it feels longer.  We left around 11am and the temperature was already starting to rise.  We were in search of the beautiful beach we had heard about it.

A quarter of the way there, hot and sweaty.  Vernazza is in the background.
One of the boats leaving Vernazza, you could take a train or boat taxi between the villages.

As you can see the trail was quite busy and we spent a lot of time stepping aside for people to get by since the path is so narrow at certain points.

Can you see all of the people on the trail across the way?  (You can click on the photo to enlarge it)

An example of just how narrow the the path was at times.

The beach!

So refreshing
