Ente Parco di Montemarcello-Magra, Province of La Spezia

Already other reviewers have praised the beauty of the places. I only add a proposal of excursion with gastronomic conclusion. Instead of arriving in Punta Corvo (wonderful black sand beach, not equipped) with motorboats, leave the car at the parking lot at the entrance of the village of Montemarcello and, after about 300 meters take to sx the path to Punta Corvo; downhill is not a problem, perhaps taking advantage of the benches placed at the strategic points. Bring with you what is necessary for shade and sustenance, especially water. In the late afternoon return to the path; the ascent is difficult: you start with steps from climbers, then continue on a path in the woods, steep to the "wall" (so the locals call the limit of the path sorting pitch); from here to the village there are no more difficulties and you can appreciate the evening show of Portovenre and the islands Palmaria Tino and Tinetto. Arriving at the village, two opportunities. If you have any forces climb to the square after the church (orient yourself with bell tower), where at the "girls' café" you can relax with an aperitif or dine with a small menu break but very good; or stop immediately at the "Grandma's Inn" (it's on the way to the parking lot, they have the contours in the cooking pan) and dine. In both cases you will have good refreshment and relaxation, romantic environment (especially in the square), great local food, medium-poor portions (I refer you to the reviews of the locals mentioned). I assure you, it will be a tiring day, but it is absolutely worth it.

We started from Bocca di Magra to Hike Monte Marcello and white tip. The trails are well visible and reported but neglected and with a lot of dirt. Too bad because the place certainly deserves but it is important to do more to preserve the environment.
