Located on the Ligurian Sea, Cinque Terre is often visited by tourists in love with the classic package which comes with the idea of a holiday spent in a seaside resort: beaches, sun, and sand and, of course, the sea and the waves. It’s true Cinque Terre is famed for its hugely rewarding hiking trails more than for its sea-related activities. However, the Ligurian Sea yields, it too, great tourist opportunities all visitors should consider exploring.

The ports in Cinque Terre proper and the ones in its vicinity enable visitors to search out the sea at leisure and enjoy the specific pursuits. The following is the list of the most important ports, marinas and docking places in Cinque Terre and the neighboring localities.
