The La Spezia promenade, called “Passeggiata Morin“, is the sea front of the city. For the La Spezia people this is a place for walking and meeting. It is possible to walk following the pier overlooking the sea, hosting the fleet of fishing boats as well as fishermen for fun. It extends up to the characteristic ‘Faro Rosso’.
From here it is possible to leave for the seaside villages of Lerici and Portovenere, as well as reach the villages of the Cinque Terre, until reaching San Fruttuoso and Portofino. An efficient boat service is in fact active..
Very near to the promenade there is the new Thaon di Revel Bridge which gives access to Porto Mirabello, where you can stop for dinner or to have an aperitif with friends..
On the opposite side of the road there are the Public Gardens.

On the opposite side of the Gulf of Poets, compared to Portovenere, we find the equally characteristic village of Lerici, whose huts along the streets, climb up to its Castel, built by the Pisan Republic but later concluded by the Genoese. Inside we find the Geopaleontological Museum. In Lerici you can enjoy the long walk to the sea that leads to the opposite village, San Terenzo (also with its small castle), along the beach of Venere Azzurra, equipped and ideal for enjoying the sun and the sea.
This place has been renowned by famous Trabi poets whom we mention: Percy Bysshe Shelley, together with his wife Mary Shelley, as well as George Byron.
