<BR>Where would you return first if you wanted to hit a beach in Northern Italy?

Don

San Remo area.

And also 100 miles east of there (i.e., France).

Everyone has different tastes. I thought the beach at Sam Remo was awful. With all the breakwaters just off shore I felt like I was swimming where boats should be docking. Not to mention that the train station is between the town and the beach. Not too pretty. <BR> <BR>It depends what you are looking for in a beach. I had a great time in Santa Margherita, even though the "sand" is actually rocks the size of eggs. Monterosso has the benefit of being one of the Cinque Terre. On the Adriatic, I like Sirolo, just south of Ancona, at the foot of Monte Conero. <BR> <BR>The beach beaches are in the south, and of course Sardegna. If it is fine sand and aquamarine waters you want, that's where you'll have to go.

Is there a public beach, rocky or whatever, in Santa Margherita? Comments? Is it possible to rent a spot on one of the private/hotel "beaches" as a non-guest of the hotel?

Lido di Camiore or Forte dei Marmi but never in August!
