Rather than sitting by the swimming pool and enjoying the view some prefer to swim in the sea, from a sandy beach or the rocks.
If you like swimming off the rocks there is Punta Bianca half an hour away where you can dive into the sea from the rocks quite easily.Punta Bianca is just around the headland from Bocca di Magra from were you can look back towards Castelnuovo Magra on the hill and see Casacollverde a little to the right above the town on the hill.
A little further around the headland is Tellaro a lovely little port as nice if not nicer than any in the 5 Terre.(one of the Borghi piu Belli d'Italia) Tellaro is normally reached by road from Lerici but is currently cut off due to a landslide Just outside Lerici is a private beach called Eco del Mar a 'VIP" beach, with restaurant and massages etc. Lerici itself recognisable by its fort above the port is also well worth a visit and from here you can take ferries to Portovenere and the 5 Terre.Finally a little further along the lungo mare is San Terenzo a fraction of Lerici it has asmall sandy beach a is pleasant walk from Lerici along the sea front.
Finally if long sandy beaches either public or private are your thing starting from the Bocca di Magra there is a succession of sandy beaches.
