About Liguria

Mountain scenery is one of the most memorable features of fine pebbly beaches of Liguria. And this is not surprising because this landscape covers almost the entire coast. Just imagine how you are relaxing under the sun against the background of the mountains - is this not a dream?

General information

The beaches of Liguria are mostly small and located in cozy bays. Some places have hard-to-reach bays of a bizarre shape, provoking active travelers to explore them. An important clarification - most beaches do not have natural shade, as the vegetation is either too small or completely absent, so do not forget your sun umbrella and protective products.

Most beaches of Liguria are located within settlements, usually more accessible and well equipped, but less picturesque. The latter does not apply to Liguria because, despite a large number of city beaches, many still offer stunning views.
