San Terenzo is a small beachside village about 2 km north of Lerici along the gulf shore, easily reached on foot along the promenade or by boat from the harbour. The beach here is wider than Lerici's and has a more local, less resort-oriented atmosphere. The village has a small castle of its own — the Castel San Terenzo — which can be seen from the waterfront.
The Villa Magni, where Shelley lived his last months, stands just above the beach. The building is privately owned and not open to visitors, but the setting — the terrace overhanging the water, the view across the gulf — makes it easy to understand why Shelley found it intoxicating. A small plaque marks the connection. The walk back to Lerici along the waterfront takes about 25 minutes.
