Photograph the iconic stepped approach to Portofino’s lighthouse and the lively Molo Umberto I marina: pastel façades, moored boats, rugged headland and crystalline Ligurian sea. Best at golden hour and blue hour for warm light and reflections; weekends are crowded—visit early weekdays. Access via a short steep walk from Portofino centre or parking at Parcheggio Portofino/Paraggi then walk; cobbles and stairs require sensible shoes. No entry fee; watch for boat traffic and respect private docks.
