Walk the Portofino Lighthouse Trail for a refreshing escape along the Ligurian coast. This easy 1.6-mile (2.6 km) hike takes about 45 minutes, with a gentle climb of 259 feet (79 metres). As you follow the path, you will see the vibrant Portofino Harbor shrink behind you, replaced by expansive views of the Mediterranean Sea. The route offers a peaceful atmosphere, guiding you through the natural park's greenery to the iconic lighthouse itself.
To begin your hike, head to the Portofino marina, which serves as the convenient starting point for the trail. While the path is generally accessible, be prepared for uneven surfaces, some inclines, and steps along the way. Wearing sturdy footwear is highly recommended to navigate these sections comfortably. If you use a wheelchair or find hills challenging, you might find parts of this route difficult.
This trail offers a unique perspective of the Portofino Regional Natural Park, showcasing a quieter, greener side of the peninsula away from the village bustle. You will be treated to sweeping vistas of the Ligurian Sea and the Gulf of Tigullio as you progress. The lighthouse at the end provides a perfect spot to take in the vast coastal scenery before you return.
