Morgana Beach Club

City: Sanremo
Region: Liguria

This beach club is on the eastern side of Sanremo and offers rental lounge chairs with umbrellas. Their club has tasty aperitivo snacks and spritzes. We visited late in the afternoon as things were closing up on the beach but enjoyed the beautiful views and putting our feet in the sand. I would think that during a hot summer day, this is the place to be in Sanremo.

About the Region:

Liguria, the slender crescent of coastline stretching between the French border and Tuscany, is one of Italy’s most distinctive regions—an intoxicating blend of sea, mountains, and centuries-old traditions squeezed into a landscape where everything feels both dramatic and intimate. Known internationally for the postcard-perfect villages of the Cinque Terre, Liguria is far more varied than its most famous stretch: rugged cliffs plunge into turquoise water, terraced hillsides shimmer with olive groves and vineyards, and pastel towns cling improbably to sheer rock faces. The regional capital, Genoa, adds a completely different energy—a gritty, historic port city filled with medieval alleyways, noble palaces, and a maritime spirit that once powered an empire. Along the Riviera di Levante, elegant towns such as Portofino, Santa Margherita, and Camogli offer a refined, yacht-polished version of coastal life, while the western Riviera di Ponente leans toward a sunny, slower rhythm, with palm-lined promenades in Sanremo, Bordighera, and Alassio echoing a 19th-century resort heritage. Ligurian cuisine is simple but unforgettable, shaped by the land’s natural limitations: basil turned into fragrant pesto, chickpea flour baked into golden farinata, and focaccia ranging from salty and soft to the addictive cheese-filled Recco style. Inland, quiet medieval villages, chestnut forests, and green valleys provide an unexpected contrast to the glamorous coast, revealing a region that has always balanced seafaring with sturdy mountain life. In Liguria, the distances are short, but the experiences are layered—every bend in the road reveals another view, another village, another way the sea meets the mountains in a landscape that never stops surprising.
