9 Hidden Gems in San Remo Proposed by Born and Raised Locals

San Remo, a charming city on the West Riviera, is an appealing destination with more to offer than just beautiful beaches and pleasant temperatures. As leaders in the West Ligurian real estate market, LiguriaHomes Casamare is proud to share the little-known treasures that make San Remo a special and alluring destination for travel and investment. This trip will explore the attractive city’s lesser-known gems, from the authenticity of purchasing fresh seafood directly from fishing boats to the serenity of playing golf.

Buying Fish directly from the Fishing Boats

Buying fish directly from fishing boats docked at the harbour “Porto Vecchio” is one of the most genuine and distinctive experiences that San Remo has to offer. Early in the morning, the city’s fisherman cast their nets out to sea in search of a fresh catch, which can include anything from anchovies to sea bream to the famous red shrimps .

You get to choose from the day’s catch even before it arrives at the market, providing an unmatched level of freshness and quality. The best quality is guaranteed because to this direct-to-consumer strategy, which also helps local fisherman.

Purchasing fish directly from local fishermen is also an eco-friendly choice. It promotes sustainable fishing practices and reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting seafood over long distances. This aligns with the growing trend of conscious consumerism, making it a choice that is both delicious and responsible.

If you’re interested in this unique experience, we advise to arrive early in the morning when the boats come in with their fresh catch.
