The sea in Riviera delle Palme

The beaches of the Riviera Ligure delle Palme boast a variety of shades and colors that make them one of the principal motives for choosing to spend your vacations on this stretch of the coast. The sand of which they are composed is among the finest in terms of the proportion of quartz and silicates. The alternation of small bays, long and broad stretches of sand and pebble beaches allows even the most demanding to find the ideal setting for their days of relaxation. In some places, such as Alassio, Loano and Finale, the sandy shore is very wide, stretching as much as fifty meters back from the sea, with a very shallow and gently sloping bottom suitable for children or those who are not expert swimmers. More often the beach is broken up into narrow bands that slope down from the hills or the lush terraces above or spread out like fans at the mouths of ancient and now vanished streams, amidst dark rocks. Here you are more likely to find deep water, to the delight and satisfaction of those interested in sport. Everywhere the sea is sparklingly clean, as guaranteed by the many blue flags that have been awarded to bathing resorts from Andora to Laigueglia, Finale Ligure, Bergeggi and Celle Ligure. This natural paradise for vacations is supported by first-rate accommodation and leisure facilities, organized with complete respect for the environment. With its 829 hotels, 101 residential complexes, 69 camp sites, 848 restaurants and 550 bathing establishments, the Riviera delle Palme is able to meet any requirement: indoor and open-air cinemas, discotheques and night clubs in practically every town; bars, pizzerias and ice-cream parlors located almost everywhere, in the little seaside villages or along the coast.
