Bays and beaches of the gulf of Lerici with luxury villas and apartments

The Gulf of Poets, located on the coast of Liguria, is one of the most suggestive and fascinating coastal areas in Italy. There are many bays in the Lerici area and they are considered among the most beautiful on the Ligurian coast thanks to the spectacular view of the sea and the crystal clear waters that surround them.

La Caletta, a small hidden beach in Lerici

Among the most famous and suggestive, La Caletta di Lerici is a beautiful inlet, located a short distance from Lerici and Maralunga on the path that leads to Tellaro, reachable via a staircase surrounded by nature or by canoe. The Caletta beach is small but enchanting and wild, with crystal clear waters and a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. What characterizes it and makes it unique is its high central stack that emerges from the blue sea and its caves.

Many people visit this area to hike along the scenic trails that wind through the olive trees and the small beaches between the various coves of the coast, enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds them. Furthermore, the Caletta is also a wonderful destination for snorkelling and scuba diving, thanks to its rich marine fauna, underwater caves, blowholes and clear waters.

Hidden among the luxuriant vegetation of Maralunga and La Caletta are prestigious villas for sale with access to the sea and swimming pool, located on the seafront; unique properties in which to live in contact with nature.

Colonne beach, reachable by swimming or canoeing from Lerici

Located to the east of La Caletta there is Spiaggia delle Colonne, also called Baia Maramozza. This beach is characterized by crystal clear waters and a small pebble beach, surrounded by cliffs, high stacks, natural arches on the sea carved by the wind and the sea and Mediterranean vegetation.

The beach is a much loved destination by tourists and locals looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the Ligurian coast; in fact, the beach is accessible by boat, by swimming from the nearby Caletta or by canoe which makes it even more fascinating and private.

The bays and beaches of Fiascherino

Continuing along the stretch of coast that opens from Lerici towards Tellaro we find the Eco del Mare beach, an exclusive and luxurious bathing establishment with an open-air restaurant overlooking the sea and equipped with an enchanting terrace. The next stretch of coast is dominated by the Fiascherino bays, a complex of very suggestive and peaceful small beaches and coves, characterized by crystal clear waters and unspoilt nature. These beaches can be reached on foot via a panoramic path from Lerici or by car if you want to take advantage of the bathing establishments present. Fiascherino is ideal for practicing water sports such as swimming, snorkelling and canoeing and behind the beaches there are some restaurants and bars where you can taste the local cuisine and sip a cocktail while admiring the sunset over the sea.

Overlooking the bay of Fiascherino are beautiful and exclusive villas with pools and apartments on the water with large panoramic terraces, cliffside gardens and access to the sea.

From Tellaro to the mouth of the Magra River

Behind Tellaro is the Groppina beach, also called the Spiaggioni, it is a series of beaches close to the rocky coast. These beaches are accessible on foot, through a panoramic path that runs along the coast and offers splendid views of the sea, by boat or with the small ferries departing from Lerici and Bocca di Magra. Spiaggioni is a great option for those looking for a quiet and secluded beach away from the crowds of the larger, more touristy beaches in the area.

In Tellaro, there are houses for sale in the historic village in the architectural style typical of Italian coastal towns; townhouse with colored or stone facades and thanks to the position perched on the coast, they enjoy a panoramic view of the sea. Even in Tellaro there is no shortage of independent villas on the cliff or in a panoramic position among centuries-old olive trees.

The beaches in the center of Lerici and San Terenzo

Returning to the center of Lerici we find the enchanting beach of San Giorgio also called the beach behind the castle, located just below the castle of the same name, which can be reached from the Lerici pier by crossing a tunnel that opens onto the three small sandy coves that make it up.

In the stretch of the gulf that connects Lerici and San Terenzo, below the pedestrian promenade, there are many beaches; there is the Lido di Lerici beach, ideal for families with children as its beach slopes gently into the clean sea with shallow water for a long stretch; the Venere Azzurra beach, located south of Lerici, is one of the busiest thanks to the width of the bay and the numerous establishments present. The beach of San Terenzo, located in the historic center is much loved by the inhabitants of the area and by tourists, it is characterized by its beach of very fine sand and a clear sea.
