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 05:51 and sets at 21:05 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-west (205°). 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 October–March; in mid-December it goes down at 16:44 local time on a bearing of 238°.
Straight out to the south-south-west about 800 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 26 m deep and 55 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 98 m above sea level 500 m inland and 198 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 84% tree cover and 14% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 39% of that circle.
- Tree 84%
- Built 14%

Straight-line distances from the beach; road distance is usually 20–40% longer.
Local transport: 42 bus stops within 1.5 km, rail station Zoagli (240 m) and 3 mapped car parks within 1 km.
16 towns and villages of 1,000+ people lie within 10 km (about 92.2K residents); within 30 km there are 59 (about 747K).
