Cinque Terre: Monterosso - Beach!

Monterosso is the western-most town in Cinque Terre, and it's where we stayed for our 4 nights.  We arrived on Tuesday afternoon and, after checking into our B&B, went to the beach in the New Town.  Monterosso is divided into the Old Town and the New Town, and they are connected by a tunnel.  Old Town has more restaurants, shops, and B&Bs.  New Town is more residential and modern.  We stayed in the Old Town.

We rented an umbrella and two beach chairs for a few hours

 On Wednesday late morning, we headed down to the Old Town beach:

The bridge in this picture supports the train tracks.
Our B&B was about 2 blocks up from the beach.


 This is how we whiled away several hours:


 Not too shabby!
