2016 Blue Flags

Region Liguria has again the highest number of Blue Flag beaches in Italy.

Clean waters, indeed “excellent”, crystal clear sea and beaches equipped with services, accessible to all and safe: 416 beaches were awarded in Italy, which correspond to 10% of the beaches awarded worldwide.

Blue Flags are international distinctions, created in 1987, with patronage and support from UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the World Tourism Organisation, which aims to promote a sustainable development at beaches and marinas through strict criteria such as water quality, environmental management, safety and services provided close to or within the beach area. To the Blue Flag Programme participate beaches and marinas in 41 countries of all the world.

Liguria again tops the regional table with 32 blue flags.

Wunderbare Neuigkeiten für die Provinz Imperia!

Am vergangenen 8. Juni wurde in Imperia mit dem Bau des Radweges begonnen, der über eine 24 km lange Strecke von Ospedaletti nach San Lorenzo al Mare führt und in einigen Monaten die Stadt Imperia durchqueren wird, bis er Diano Marina erreicht.

blue-flag-liguria

Italy has 407 top beaches, 22 more than last year, in 195 municipalities. The figures emerge from the 2020 Blue Flag table, which certifies the services and environmental friendliness of coastal and lakeside resorts, as well as the cleanliness of the water.

Blue Flags are international distinctions, created in 1987, with patronage and support from UNEP, the United Nations Environment Programme, and the World Tourism Organisation, which aims to promote a sustainable development at beaches and marinas through strict criteria such as water quality, environmental management, safety and services provided close to or within the beach area. To the Blue Flag Programme participate beaches and marinas in 41 countries of all the world.

Liguria again tops the regional table with 32 blue flags (30 last year), with 2 new entries: Diano Marina and Sestri Levante.

It is followed from far away by Tuscany with 20, Campania with 19, Marche and Apulia with 15, then Sardinia and Calabria with 14, Abruzzo with 10, Veneto and Lazio 9, Sicily reaches 8 flags, Emilia Romagna 7 flags, Basilicata 5, Friuli Venezia Giulia 2 and Molise with 1. But Blue Flags are also for the lakes and Trentino Alto Adige leads with 10 flags, followed by Piedmont with 4 and then Lombardy with 1 flag.

In West Liguria these are the 2020 Blue Flags: Bordighera, Sanremo, Arma di Taggia, Riva Ligure, Santo Stefano al Mare, San Lorenzo al Mare, Diano Marina, Imperia, Ceriale, Borghetto Santo Spirito, Loano, Pietra Ligure, Finale Ligure, Noli, Spotorno, Bergeggi, Savona, Albissola Marina, Albisola Superiore, Celle Ligure and Varazze.

So, after the report “Indice del clima” from Il Sole 24 ore who has crowned West Liguria as BEST CLIMATE in Italy based on 10 different weather parameters (days of sun, days of rain, days of strong wind, humidity, etc) calculated over the period 2008 – 2018, today we have the confirmation that Region Liguria has – again – the most pristine and clear waters in Italy.

Les Français prennent d’assaut des plages italiennes

plages de la Riviera italienne

Soleil, sable, mer, etc. Les Français n’hésitent pas à passer à la frontière pour profiter de tout cela. Mais pourquoi apprécient-ils autant les plages privées de la Riviera italienne?

Vintimille, San Remo, Arma di Taggia, Alassio, etc. La région Ligurie ne manque pas de plages et surtout de plages privées. Pour le plus grand plaisir des Azuréens qui s’y rendent en nombre une fois les beaux jours venus.

Impossible d’être dépaysé tant on y entend parler français. Même le personnel des commerces le maîtrise. Et plutôt bien d’ailleurs.

Mais alors, pourquoi les Azuréens sont-ils aussi friands du littoral italien alors que des plages, même privées, ils n’en manquent pas chez eux? Les raisons sont multiples.

“Ce que j’apprécie, c’est que l’on peut déplacer notre matelas à notre guise, explique Sonia, une Laurentine venue pour la journée avec une amie. Pour l’instant, le mien est sous le parasol mais bien souvent je le déplace et le mets au bord de l’eau. Ici, ça ne gêne personne. Donc première ligne ou non, c’est un peu comme à la maison.”

Une ambiance décontractée que les familles apprécient tout particulièrement. Et ce n’est pas les enfants qui contrediront leurs parents. Toutes les plages privées sont équipées d’au moins un baby-foot, d’un toboggan ou encore d’une balançoire. Un véritable paradis pour les petites têtes blondes et les adolescents.

Une bonne ambiance, un certain dépaysement, mais aussi des prix très attractifs. Comptez environ quinze euros pour un matelas, le lettino en italien, et un parasol, l’ombrellone. Et entre huit et douze euros pour un matelas seul. Certaines plages privées sont équipées de paillotes, donc nul besoin de payer un supplément pour s’ombrager.

Pour Sandrine et son mari Eric, parents de deux bambins, il n’y a pas photo. “Une journée comme celle que nous venons passer ici, nous coûterait le double en France et ça ne m’étonnerait même pas si c’était plus que ça encore. Les salades sont à même pas dix euros, tout comme les pizzas bien souvent et les plats ne sont pas beaucoup plus chers. Sans parler des boissons, seulement deux euros le coca-cola et un euro le café.” Pourquoi se priver?

MOINS CHER, MAIS TOUT DE MÊME

Si tout est moins cher une fois sur place, “il faut toutefois compter les frais de déplacement”, note Fabrice, un habitué. Pour vous rendre à Arma di Taggia depuis Nice, comptez 8,50 euros de péage et 8 euros de carburant, soit 33 euros aller-retour en plus des dépenses sur place. Qu’importe, tout le monde semble heureux sur les plages italiennes. Pour en profiter, n’oubliez pas, en haute saison, de réserver matelas et parasol, ainsi qu’une table au restaurant.
