Beach overall scores
Riomaggiore Beach (La Spezia) region (French Riviera sub-region) is located outside the Riomaggiore settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Riomaggiore Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"A Ligurian beach is a stunning sight to behold, with its rugged terrain and abundant marine life making it perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts. For those seeking a little adventure, there are also numerous small paths to navigate as you make your way down to the shore. Overall, this is a beach experience that is truly unique and unforgettable."

"Ah, the pebble beach. A true gem among the sandy shores. While it may not be the typical beach experience, it offers a refreshing change of pace. The sensation of swimming among the pebbles is oddly satisfying, and the lack of sand in your swimsuit is a definite plus. Plus, with fewer crowds, you can truly enjoy the peacefulness of the waves. And when hunger strikes, fear no..."
