Overview

Levanto is a charming coastal town at the entrance to the Cinque Terre, on the Riviera di Levante. The large sandy beach faces south/southeast, in a bay open to the Ligurian Sea. The spot is renowned for its waves in southeast swell (Scirocco/Marin). Surfers and kiters appreciate the conditions which can be powerful. The Libeccio (SW) arrives side-shore. Levanto is also an excellent starting point for visiting the Cinque Terre.
