Friday market and beaches

The Friday market is held outdoors all year round, from 8 am to 1 pm: if it rains, bring an umbrella and suitable shoes, and if a weather alert is issued, check the town council’s notices before setting off. Look at Friday’s forecast in the table above before you set off. The beaches of Ventimiglia are almost all pebbly; the Calandre, towards France, is sandy, but storm surges can wash the sand away, and when the maestrale (north-west wind) blows, the surfers arrive.

If it rains in Ventimiglia

In the rain you can visit the Civic Archaeological Museum in the Forte dell’Annunziata or the prehistoric museum of the Balzi Rossi, on the border. When the sun’s out, the Hanbury Gardens are a few minutes away by car.

When to go to Ventimiglia

Ventimiglia is good to visit all year round. For the sea, go from June to September; for the gardens and Ventimiglia Alta, spring and autumn are ideal.

Check the level on the official Allerta Liguria website (in Italian) before setting off on hikes or boat trips.
