The Fiord of Furore, Beach inlet between limestone cliffs in Furore, Italy
Description
The Fiord of Furore is a natural inlet with a shingle beach enclosed by tall limestone cliffs that rise sharply from the water. The space opens directly to the sea and functions as a small natural harbor surrounded by vertical rock walls.
History
The inlet was carved out by a mountain stream flowing through limestone rock over time, creating this natural basin. Local fishermen later made use of this sheltered spot, establishing a small community with houses built into the cliff face.
Culture
The inlet gained recognition through a 1948 film that was shot here and brought international attention to this hidden spot. The director's connection to the location helped establish it as a destination that people still visit today.
Practical
Access to the beach requires descending a steep stone stairway from the road above. The location receives sunlight mainly in the morning hours due to the surrounding cliffs, so timing your visit accordingly helps improve the experience.
Did you know?
An annual diving competition takes place here where athletes jump from a bridge that spans across the limestone walls. This event uses the natural height of the location and the clear water to create a dramatic sporting spectacle.
