Levanto
Use Levanto for its bay, old streets, Sant’Andrea and the Maremonti path. Bonassola adds a separate village-and-headland day with its own station, church and meal stop. Choose the time and effort that fit the visit rather than treating every coastal place as one walk.

A beach base with the railway close by
Levanto offers a bay, a compact historic centre and a railway gateway for the eastern coast. Bonassola has its own railway station and lower village beyond the Maremonti link. Stay with one centre for a short visit; choose the tunnel path as an additional outing when its access and your available time suit.

Maremonti and an evening in Levanto
A short out-and-back walk on Maremonti, then the bay and an optional evening food stop in Levanto. The 14:00–16:00 walking window includes the return; it is not two hours of walking away from town.

Village, beach, church and headland access have different conditions. The Bonassola chapel is described by the municipality as an exterior-viewing stop, with barriers on the approach. Route hours are examples after arrival, not opening hours, beach service or transport departures.
