From any ground, whether it's from above or directly on the ground, the Santa Margherita d'Antiochia, a 14th-century Ligurian-Gothic structure, stands as the most prominent building in Vernazza's harbour area.

If you stay in Vernazza, I suggest hiking from Town 4 to 1 (stop in 3 or 2 for frozen yogurt or lunch) and then get to town 1 to get a bottle of wine, cheese and crackers and go watch the sunset; this all takes about 5 hours (more or less); then you can take a commuter train back to town 4;
BUY A TICKET! Day two hike from Town 4 to 5 (longer and beautiful); then eat and lay out in town 5; you must buy tickets to hike.

Head right when you leave the train station, and after a short walk past a bunch of restaurants, the parking lot, and a small soccer field on your left, you'll hit the next coolest spot for a classic 'beach' vibe after Spiaggia Fegina. It's smaller, with just two beach clubs, making it a solid 'plan b' if Fegina's packed.
