The biggest and most bustling of the towns on Cinque Terre’s verdant stretch of coast, Monterosso feels the least like Italy and the most like the Bahamas, or Delaware, or, well...any other coastal places to which English-speakers flock in the summertime. It’s a resort town through and through, with the added bonus of some quaint cobblestoned streets and colorful old buildings. The sheer number of restaurants, hotels, and shockingly bright umbrellas (yours for just a small fee!) that line the long beachfront sets this town apart from the rest.
