We have reached the southern tip of the Portofino promontory.Up on the ridge, you can spot a small white square tower. That is the Portofino Lighthouse.It stands between two gulfs: the Gulf of Tigullio, which stretches from Sestri Levante to Portofino, and Golfo Paradiso, home to Camogli and the Abbey of San Fruttuoso.
Many visitors walk up here from Portofino along the coastal paths, both for the view and for a cold beer at the end of the climb.From up there, with a bit of luck, you may spot dolphins, or even whales, in the distance! They live in the protected waters of the Pelagos Sanctuary, off the Ligurian and Tuscan coasts.
