A beautiful coastline with traditional Italian resorts.
The coastline that stretches from the cote -de- azur all along to the famous resort of Portofino has some of the most beautiful scenery in the whole of Italy.

There is a long sandy beach with safe swimming and the usual tourist facilities. The resort has a beautiful tree lined promonade and the town offers a great selection of shops, cafes, ice cream parlours and various restaurants for every budget. The old town is a delight to stroll around with its historic narrow shopping street "ll Budello" full of interesting shops and boutiques. It is possible to visit the nearby resorts of Diano Marina and San remo. Both are traditional Italian sea side towns with good sandy beaches and have a feeling of old world charm about them. The Grand Liberty-style Casino in San Remo is a well known landmark along this coast and holds various concerts/shows throughout the year.
The colourful market held in San Remo twice weekly is still a big draw for the people living all around this area. At the other end of the scale you can do some shopping in Portofino with its smart designer boutiques, seafront cafes and quality restaurants. This coast offers the visitor a delightful mix of traditional Italian holiday towns with all the modern facilities that the present day holiday maker requires. The mild climate of Liguria is ideal for growing fruit and vegetables.

Vines are grown throughout the area producing some good quality red and white wines which are available in many of the local cafes or restaurants as well as the local shops.
