The beach in Diano Marina boasts spectacular coastline, with palm trees, agaves, maritime pines and olive trees. The sea is gorgeous, with superfine sandy beaches and seabeds suited to little tykes. The promenade is a great place to take long walks and go to the city centre, which has much to offer. The city boasts almost 4 km of sandy coast with bathing establishments all along it, catering for all your needs. Bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and hotels are proof of the strong vocation for tourism of this splendid little seaside city on the Western Ligurian Riviera. Especially here, on the Riviera dei Fiori, the mild climate, the geography of the territory and the never-ending sunny days make it a place to enjoy outdoor sports from boating to sailing to snorkelling, up to the most extreme sports in any season. On the first three days of October, Diano Marina turns into a large trade fair dedicated to the nautical industry to give all the sailing and windsurf buffs a chance to see the latest novelties from up close.

The splendid seabed, beaches and rocks offer plentiful opportunities for sports,from scuba diving to surfing, from sailing to canoeing. You can even canoe in the waters of the river and streams. Hikers and those who love trekking can go on both spring and winter trails (where in some mountain zones you can also do Alpine skiing and cross-country skiing). Those who love horseback riding can choose from a wealth of high-quality panoramic nature trails on the Alta Via dei Monti Liguri and many others, especially inland, which follow the old road that connected traditional villages, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. For mountain bike lovers there are many trails for every age and ability, ranging from cross-country to free ride.

In Diano Marina and surrounding area the focus is on sustainable tourism in contact with nature, giving you a chance to immerse yourself in a different setting, far from the stressful pace and hustle bustle of the city—a return to the simple things, to familiarity and wholesome produce. If you have a little time left over, after having enjoyed the sea atmosphere of Diano Marina, you can make a stop in the villages of the hills and mountains spending time in the rustic buildings and lodges will definitely be a plus. A rural context in symbiosis with country roads and historic towns where time has stopped, among woods and mountain pastures where you can enjoy cheeses and jams made with the very freshest ingredients.
