Best Beaches in Liguria

Where to Stay

The Hotel Riviera dei Fiori in San Lorenzo is the best hotel along this coast and is right on the beach. A cheaper alternative offering great value and a perfect location is the Lucciola Hotel. The Lucciola is right on the sea and right on the cycling path with free bikes on offer too.



Why is this coastline so wonderful? Well it always was one of the prettiest bits of coastline in Liguria with none of the crowds seen along the more easterly parts of Liguria.

In fact the towns to the east, nearer to Savona and Genoa, are always packed, mainly because they are the best beaches close to Milan and Turin. This coastline, except for the last bit near San Remo, is pleasantly uncrowded nearly all year round - only August gets busy here.

It was good before but now it's way better! The reason is that a few years back they rerouted the train track that used to run along the coast, just a stones throw from the sea.

What they did was turn the train track into a 25 kilometer long cycling path with stunning views and many lovely little towns, places like Santo Stefano al Mare, along the way.

Some of the best beaches in Liguria too are scattered all the way from San Lorenzo to just before San Remo and even better is the fact that most of them are free.

Don't have a bike, no worries, nearly all hotels provide them - often free of charge.
