Top 10 Must-Visit Beaches in Liguria: Your Ultimate Guide

Fishermen’s Beach, Noli

Moving a few kilometers to Noli, you’ll find the large Pescatori beach, dominating the village coast overlooking the Riviera delle Palme. Made of light pebbles, this beach is where fishermen’s boats rest in the morning upon their return. You can sunbathe freely between the boats, but there are also several beach establishments.

Alassio Beach

The Alassio beach extends for 4 km along the town in the province of Savona. Over 100 beach establishments line the fine, light sand from Capo Santa Croce almost to the village of Laigueglia. This popularity makes it one of the most famous beaches not only on the Riviera delle Palme but in all of Liguria. The gently sloping seabed allows for safe bathing, ideal for families with children.

Deiva Marina Beach

In Deiva Marina, a small town in the province of La Spezia, the main beach is quite wide by Ligurian standards and about 500 meters long. This beach features a mix of sand and gravel, with alternating free beaches and equipped bathrooms. The open sea exposure can lead to thunderous waves, making it necessary to be cautious with children. The clear waters of the Ligurian Sea here are excellent for diving.

Punta Crena Beach, Varigotti

Our virtual tour concludes at Punta Crena beach in Varigotti, nestled between the cliffs of the Punta Crena promontory. This hidden 40-meter pebble beach, where naturism is practiced, is difficult to reach and thus never crowded. Access is possible by sea from the nearby Varigotti pier, either by swimming or using a dinghy, pedal boat, or other small vehicles. Alternatively, you can take a challenging path requiring ropes, making it dangerous and not suitable for everyone.

If you manage to reach this secluded spot, you’ll enjoy the spectacular nature and crystalline waters with Caribbean reflections.
