Corniglia is the only one of the Cinque Terre not to have a direct access to the sea. Nevertheless, it has perhaps the most famous beach: the beach of Guvano, well known for nudism and in the Seventies for the hippies.
Guvano beach is not easy to find, and the locals don't promote it to the tourists so it is usually very quiet and peaceful. It is also known to be a nudist beach, so you are likely to find half the people on the beach completely naked. Don't let that stop you from going, nudity is optional.
The beach is made up of sand and stones and retains all its evocative suggestion.
