Enchanting little bay with an historic abbey

This is a great day trip when the weather is nice. It's only accessible by hiking or boat. We took a boat and had a great day. Nice beach. Great place to bring bread, cheese and wine for a picnic. So glad we took the...More

Not much to see here

We came here by ferry from Portofino. There is not a lot to see or do. But it was a nice ride and it gave us a chance to see the coastline. The church is free. There is a fee to visit the museum.

A lot of history not a lot to see

Amazing view as the boat prepares to dock, the aqua blue crystal clear sea, and the Abbey standing majestically directly in front. For more mature people there are quite a few steps before reaching the Abbey, we were wormed about how crowded the beach can...More

Beautiful dramatic setting

My husband & I rode the ferry to see this small village with it’s historic abbey. Breath-taking views of the sea, alongside ancient artifacts. Easy, self-guided tour. We then explored this tiny village, settling on La Cantina for lunch. It is a small restaurant in...More

Take the ferry from Camogli or Portofino to San Fruttuoso to tour the old abbey (which dates back to 984 A.D.), have a nice lunch, and swim in the lovely bay. If you feel energetic, you can get off the ferry on the way back...More

Gorgeous water, spectacular setting, crowded beach

You can reach this place by ferry from Camogli, Punta Chiappa or Portofino for 6-8 euro. It’s.a gorgeous setting and the abbey has a fascinating history. We were there in September and there were still plenty of people. It was difficult to find a place...More

This was a highlight of our holiday, the only place we shelled out to get a beach chair and I’m glad we did as it gets crowded on the sand but it didn’t bother us. Catch the first ferry and plan to spend at least...More

We took a boat from Camogli to the Abbey. It was over crowded. The sea and the beach were very nice if you can see from the many people. They divided the tiny beach, the huge part is private, you have to pay for the...More

Hello..... I am interested in the Christ of the Abyss statue. I am 64. I don't dive. I don't snorkel. I have heard there are glass bottomed boats. Can you see well? Can anyone give me more info. Are they on site. How long is the trip etc. I would be arriving on the ferry from Portofino. Could it all be done in an hour or would I need two. I know..... I would need two at least.... right. Thank you.

Hello, I'm visiting soon and wondered if the beach is safe enough to leave things on if myself and boyfriend went swimming? Or is there anywhere you can pay to watch stuff? Thanks in advance :)

Agree with Ana. Went there last month and we hiked through but it's so small you can keep an eye on your stuff while swimming. Enjoy!

We are staying in San Fruttuoso for 3 nights in May, arriving on a Friday from Camogli. Is it possible to park the car in Camogli and leave it there for the duration ? I have read that it is easier to park in Recco but the ferry only runs Sat and Sun in May.

Dear Kalkan37, it is possible to park the car in Camogli for a few days. Near the theatre, in Matteotti Square, there is an unguarded parking with entrance bar open 24 hours, the maximum daily rates for 24 hours € 30,00.
