Beach Trip

Though the clouds of April brought some beautiful sunsets and skies laced with clouds in a million shades of blue and grey reflecting off the sea, nothing beats a warm sun and the start of Monterosso's summer season.










The last of the restaurants have opened in town, and as the last remnants of the disaster of October 25th are shoveled away, Monterosso's favorite spot has started to fill up again.
Older residents laying for a few minutes after lunch, tourists jumping into the crystal blue water (then shrieking, as it's still a little chilly from the winter), the first kayaks and paddleboards being brought out, sunbathers glimmering and children building castles with sticky gelato fingers - these are more of the scenes from a normal beach town.


A popular picture spot and a shot taken by thousands of cameras never loses it's beauty

Gazing at the "Work in Progress" poster on Via Roma, where potted flowers mark the car-free zone

And in case you can't get here soon, a little video to give you 360 degrees of an afternoon at the shore.
