Fishing
If it is true that today in the Cinque Terre fishermen have almost all disappeared, ending an activity which in the past constituted a large earnings source, the passion for fishing has not vanished though since both inhabitants and tourists still find this to be an ideal environment for their hobby. At all times of the year in fact there are many passionate fishermen who populate the piers, beaches, bays and inlets or go out on their boats armed with fishing rods, fishing lines etc. The Park however impones lots of restrictive norms, authorising the exercise of various types of sportive fishing with different methods, depending on the area chosen, allowing however major or minor limits to fishermen, depending on if they are residents or non-residents of the Cinque Terre.
Other Sports
The paths of the Cinque Terre are not only walked along by hill walkers, but also by horse riding and mountain-biking fans.
The sport paragliding is available in Monterosso only in winter. Close to Soviore, infact a natural take-off runway exists situated in an area in which the sea currents lifting power is ideal for the flight which ends on Fegina beach.
