Swiming in Cinque Terre?

Question

I am interested in hiking Cinque Terre, and was wondering if the ocean water is suitable for swimming this type of the year. What is the average temperature (ocean or land) like, and how long should I stay in the water? Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, you'll see people swimming in Monterosso, Vernazza, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. In Riomaggiore, there's a big rock in the water that people climb and jump off.

Answer 2

Here in 5 terre the weather is awsome!  the temperature of the sea (it's the mediterranean sea.. not the ocean!) is about 20-25°C while on the land it's about 30-35°C... you can stay in the water as long as you want!! ..it's a paradise!

Answer 3

First: Cinque terre isn't on the ocean but on the mediterranean sea.... so the water is quite warm in summer and your baTh can last as long as you want
