A short hike in the Portofino Park leading to Punta Chiappa, an ancient fishing hamlet that has become one of the most popular seaside destinations along the Ligurian coast.
San Rocco di Camogli can be reached by bus, on foot from Camogli, or by car from Ruta di Camogli; there is a paid parking area and a few parking spaces along the road (please pay attention to resident-only areas).
The small village offers the main services, including a bar, restaurant and bakery/grocery store.
The hike begins from the panoramic churchyard of San Rocco di Camogli and continues along Via Mortola, a pleasant level promenade overlooking the sea.
There is a drinking water fountain here.
After about 200 metres, leave the main trail and descend to the right, following the trail marker , along a steep stone staircase.
The path continues in the shade, first passing through a few houses that form the small hamlet of Pego, before reaching the square in front of the medieval church of San Nicolò di Capodimonte, built by monks during the 12th century.
From here there are two options to reach the sea: continue down the short and easy staircase leading to Punta Chiappa through the picturesque village of Porto Pidocchio, or take the small path that begins to the left of the church.
For the descent, we recommend the latter option. This quieter and less frequented trail, slightly uneven in places, winds beneath maritime pines, offering beautiful panoramic views over the gulf before reaching the Punta, the distinctive rocky spur that extends into the sea for around fifty metres.
From the Punta, return to the junction and continue left this time along the staircase descending to Porto Pidocchio, the small pier where the boats dock. Following the scenic promenade that runs alongside the cliffs, pass the first of the two restaurants before reaching the small inlet of Scogli Grossi.
Climb between the houses overlooking the sea and continue the final section to Mulino del Moro, located in front of the second restaurant.
From here begins the staircase of approximately 1,000 steps that climbs directly back to San Nicolò di Capodimonte, rejoining the outward trail and allowing you to return to San Rocco di Camogli along the same route.
