When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.3/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 24.3 °C and 36 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.7 °C cooler than the Italy median for August (25.8 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.5 °C, cooler than 54% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (131 mm) and July the driest (36 mm); the yearly total is about 820 mm.
Daylight runs from 8.9 hours in December to 15.5 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:52 and sets at 21:06 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west-south-west (245°). Open water fills about 39% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 21:08 local time on a bearing of 305°.
Straight out to the west-south-west the next coast is roughly 80 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 26 m deep and 62 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 179 m above sea level 500 m inland and 331 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 77% tree cover and 21% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 42% of that circle.
- Tree 77%
- Built 21%
Land cover: ESA WorldCover 2021 (10 m). Orientation from OpenStreetMap land polygons sampled in 36 directions; depths and heights from the GEBCO 2020 grid (about 450 m cells), indicative only.

Straight-line distances from the beach; road distance is usually 20–40% longer.
Local transport: 70 bus stops within 1.5 km, rail station Camogli-San Fruttuoso (480 m), rail station Recco (1.2 km) and 26 mapped car parks within 1 km.
16 towns and villages of 1,000+ people lie within 10 km (about 71.8K residents); within 30 km there are 64 (about 779.8K).
