Fiascherino, Coastal beach in Lerici, Italy
Fiascherino is a coastal beach in Lerici with two distinct coves separated by a rocky point that juts into the water. The water runs clear and deep blue, while tall stone cliffs frame the coves and natural caves have been carved into the rock face.
The place began as a small fishing village but gained attention in the early 1900s through a literary connection that drew people's interest. A well-known English writer stayed there and helped put the location on the map, gradually attracting visitors to the area.
The name comes from the fishing families who have made their home here for generations. The way people use the beach, with traditional boats and the rhythm of the tides, still reflects a deep connection to the sea.
Getting down to the water requires walking down a steep series of steps to reach the beach level. Parking spaces are limited at the top, so arriving early or using a bicycle is worth considering.
The caves carved into the rocks were shaped by water and time and now offer natural shelter from the sun along with a glimpse into the geology of the coast. These hollows are perfect for a break from direct sunlight or for exploring when the tide is low.
