The beaches of Bordighera

The complete guide from west to east.

Bordighera’s beaches run throughout the city and are very numerous.
They are distinguished primarily by their size and the type of service they offer.

The bottom of the beaches is more or less always the same throughout the city: the beaches consist of round pebbles and, depending on the swell, there are stretches with coarse sand.

To help you choose which beach is right for you, we have divided the coastline by zones.
This way you will know exactly where to go to enjoy a day at the beach in Bordighera.

Rattaconigli beach is the westernmost beach on the Bordighera coastline.
This beach is the newest but, more importantly, the largest of all and is almost entirely free.
This is the perfect corner for those who are lovers of large spaces and want to enjoy the sea while maintaining some privacy.
Behind this beach there is a nice bicycle and pedestrian promenade and numerous parking lots not far away.
There are public showers and changing rooms.
In addition, the beach is served by 4 bars well distributed along the entire length of the coast, two of which also rent deckchairs and sunbeds.

The stretch of beach between the train station and the large beach of Rattaconigli is very convenient is easily accessible.

In fact, this stretch of beach can be reached by car, and there is plenty of parking on the promenade.

Bathing establishments in this part of Bordighera offer a lot of entertainment: windsurfing rentals and lessons, floating platforms with trampolines, games for children, a swimming pool, and some organize nice evenings of music and fun.

The beaches from the train station to the Sant’Ampelio traffic circle are closest to the center and stores.

Both the beach and services are similar to those on the west side of the Station.

In this stretch of coastline, however, beach establishments are characterized by almost all having excellent restaurant service both during the day and in the evening.

If you were in Bordighera during the winter, it is in this area that you would find a nice seaside restaurant where you could enjoy freshly caught fish.

Gli scogli di Sant’Ampelio, diciamolo, sono per intenditori: questa bella scogliera sul mare difficilmente viene scelta dai turisti per passare le intere giornate sotto il sole.

Qui, però, ogni bordigotto che si rispetti ha passato la giovinezza sfidando gli amici a chi faceva il tuffo migliore.

Tra queste rocce troverete l’acqua più pulita di tutta la città e sentirete il profumo del mare come da nessun’altra parte nei dintorni.

Vi consiglio di portare una maschera e di esplorare il fondale. Sott’acqua c’è una galleria sommersa che porta da una parte all’altra della scogliera.

To the east of the marina hides Arziglia beach.
This is probably the least touristy beach of all, and you’re sure to find a quiet corner here at any time of year.

In ancient times it was the fishermen’s beach, in fact there are many paintings of the time to testify to this.
Today it is largely a free beach.
One third of the beach is equipped with the umbrellas and sunbeds of the only bathing establishment in the area.

Bordighera offers plenty of free beaches.

With a few rare exceptions, each private bathing establishment is always alternated with a free beach.
All free beaches are equipped with changing rooms and showers with drinking water.

Bordighera has a beach where you can take your dog to the beach.
