Sandy beaches in Liguria
There is a multitude of sandy beaches along the ligurian coast, both public and managed. There are well-maintained beach sections there, partly with a very good lunch menu and a bar which offers you snack meals and an unforgettably good cup of espresso. In addition there are beaches for all tastes, physical fitness beaches, luxury beaches, beaches with oriental couches and pet friendly beaches as well as pedal boat and and surfing board rental agencies.
There are several dog beaches in Liguria, at which your four-footed family member will be courted like a young prince. These lovingly well-kept dog beaches offer dog showers, sufficient shady places, drinking troughs and even dog playgrounds or dog couches in some of them.
Public beaches in Liguria
Public beaches in Italy can be recognized by the label "Spiaggia libera" or by the fact that there are no couches and sun-shades bearing the "Bagni” label which means that fees are imposed. You will find the public beaches always between the paid beaches since every municipality must grant the general public access to water. Public beaches can be used from morning until evening - 7:00 p.m.
The blue flags (Bandiere Blu ), which are issued every year by the Foundation for Environmental Education in accordance with set quality criteria, embody the promise of best quality beaches.
With 23 blue flags in 2015 alone, Liguria boasts of the most of excellent beaches with regard to cleanness and high water quality, compared to other Italian regions. A vacation in Liguria is always something special - enjoy the mountains and the sea, tranquility and relaxation.

Insider Tip
The more you look around at centrally located beaches, the fuller they are. Our advice - look for the beaches situated at the far ends of the bay (which are in most cases a bit hidden), there you can spend relaxing time at the beach more privately.
