Levanto, surfing paradise

Name the most famous places in the world for surfing: Australia, Indonesia, California… Cinque Terre! Wait, what?

Levanto is one of the world’s surfing paradises, where you can surf in the whole bay, all year round. Levanto seems to be always crowded with sportsmen from Austria, Switzerland and the north of Italy who come to try out these waves, especially in Winter.
