Why go
This slower coastal day begins at Spiaggia di Fegina, where you can pause beside the sea before crossing toward Torre Aurora, the landmark between Monterosso’s two parts. The short climb to Convento dei Cappuccini e Chiesa di San Francesco changes the view. Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, Monterosso then brings you into the historic centre, and a final walk through Monterosso al Mare leaves room to explore the old lanes. The stops are close enough to keep the day flexible, though the convent approach has a climb. Check local beach conditions and church access before planning a long stay.
