The nudists beach (closed)
The allure of Guvano, particularly from the vistas along trekking trail number 592-3 (SVA2) that stretches between Corniglia and Vernazza, remains unchanged. A stunning untouched beach, kissed by turquoise waves and embraced by the Mediterranean Sea.
For many years, let's say from the 1970s until 2016, Guvano was a world-renowned nudist beach, so much so that it is still featured in some guides in that sector today.
Contrary to some online narratives, it is essential to understand that today it is illegal to get in Guvano by foot due to concerns about safety.
The former railway tunnel that linked Corniglia to Vernazza featured an exit leading to Guvano after a 15-minute walk through darkness, but it has been shut down by the authority of the town of Vernazza for the same reasons about safety.
Today you can reach Guvano by kayak or paddle, but with much caution due to the significant risk of landslides that fall down into the sea.
