A superior resort patronized by well-heeled Italian families. There are boat trips from the port, skin-diving and water-skiing and a climbing school for the fantastic rocks behind the town. Exceptionally pretty, well-tended gardens. Caves along the shore. An interesting civic museum is in a nunnery at Finalborgo, the old town 1.5 km away (www.museoarcheologicodelfinale.it). Or try a guided tour of the Valdemino grottoes, 2 km south-west at Borgio Verezzi (www.grottediborgio.it). At Pietra Ligure, 6 km west, the Nostralino wine sagra (feast) is held during August.
