Riviera delle Palme

in

Riviera delle Palme is a coastal region in Liguria, centred on a sequence of beaches, marinas and historic settlements beneath low wooded mountains. Tourism is concentrated along the shore, while olive groves and smaller villages occupy the inland slopes. Residential development extends inland from several of the larger resorts. Local communities occupy the ground between mountains and villages, keeping the broader landscape active throughout the year.

Cycling and coastal rail links make movement between towns straightforward. Hill roads and local food provide a useful contrast with the developed seafront, especially outside the busiest summer weeks. Looking beyond the main beaches reveals fishing activity, local roads and quieter stretches of shore. Smaller inland settlements provide a calmer perspective on the region beyond the seafront.
