Hidden among the sinuous curves of the Ligurian coast of Ventimiglia, Spiaggia delle Calandre (Beach) emerges as a pristine jewel of golden sand and crystal clear waters. An enchanting cove, a secret destination away from the crowds of the most popular beaches.

The view

From Forte dell’Annunziata (Fort), just outside the walls of the historic center of Ventimiglia, you descend along a stepped path, passing through a lush pine forest, to reach Belvedere Pietra (Viewpoint), where a spectacular view opens up: To the east the town, the mouth of the Roja river, and the Marina di San Giuseppe harbor; to the north the Fortress; to the west the French coastline; and to the south all the boundless blue of the sea.

The beach

Surrounded by cliffs covered in Mediterranean vegetation, the beach, a real treasure to be conquered after an arduous adventure on the path overlooking the sea, enchants with its gently sloping shallow waters.

For all seasons

A place to be discovered all year round. An uncontaminated oasis, a refuge, and crystal clear sea in summer. Adventures in the Mediterranean scrub in winter. A destination for nature lovers with its rich marine ecosystem and, on windy days, an ideal spot for enthusiasts of surfing.
