Blue Flag beaches here often sit in sheltered inlets reachable only on foot or by boat, with intensely blue water and seabeds home to red coral, gorgonians and posidonia — among the richest in the Ligurian Sea.
In 2026, Liguria has 35 Blue Flag municipalities across 4 provinces: about 14% of the 257 awarded in Italy. In 2025 there were 33: +2 this year.
