    A bit overpriced (190โ‚ฌ for two sunbeds, umbrella and beach towels in July 2021). Food and drinks were OK, the stuff was super helpful although sometimes I wished they let us enjoy without checking our bottle of water every 3 minutes (literally!). Parking is available for extra 40โ‚ฌ, it's better if you reserve a space or you arrive before 10:30.

    It's considered a "public beach", but 90% of it is covered in hotel chairs and sunshades. The other 10% is literally towel on top of a towel, and you are walking all over someone's things. Didn't get to go swimming because there's no space to leave your things. Otherwise, beautiful.

    This is what you would call a 'tourist trap 180โ‚ฌ for two sunbeds, and two towels in an crowded space. Fine, we had been traveling for two hours, and at that point didn't really care about the ridiculous prices. However, what I do like to mention is that this place seems to think it's of a higher standard, than it actually is. Absolutely worst part was eating at Baia di Paraggi. This is nowhere near "fine dining", and a lot closer to any basic Italian food you'd get in any street kitchen. But the portions were incredibly small, smaller than a kids portion. It's a nice place, with the view and the clear oceans but... it's absolutely not worth it, to stay by the Baia di Paraggi. Save your money, and go somewhere else.

    Very beautiful beach with crystal clear waters. There is only a very small public beach and it gets very crowded. There are a few beach clubs with expensive prices for sunbeds. But it's a beautiful place to come for a swim. Nice restaurants on the beach too!

    Very small and beautiful rocky beach. There is no sand here at all, but thatโ€™s making the water very clear. There are a lot of nice fishes in this water and you can clearly see the bottom. The paid beaches nearby are super-expensive, hence this public place is a perfect alternative.

    Amazing place! Blue water, nice breeze of air, breathtaking views. A must see place. Plus, you can go on a cruise from here. CAUTION: This place have a very high parking fee.

    One of the best places in Portofino. Suits every budget... from free swimming in crystal clear waters, kayak and paddle experiences, up to a romantic dinner with lobster and wine in front of REAL sand beach (something a miss the most from my Caribbean sea). This Bay is about 45 min walking from Santa Margherita train station. Don't miss it. From here you can take a very nice trekking walk that will take you in free minutes to the famous luxurious Portofino bay.

    A normal beach in a location between Santa Margharita and the Portofino. Itโ€™s like a public beach and you can have sunbeds and umbrella. The sea is not bad. You can choose this place for having sunbathing and swimming. A nice place

  • 5/5 Margarita S. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautifully located in the heart of natural park of Portofino. Here is private villa of Berlusconi and I can understand "why"! Little but well organised with parking for bikes and auto, bar, restaurant both for tacking coffee and dinner, sheslongs and other sea services to relax or tracking paths to go for a light or hard sport introducing yourself to this exclusive nature. A lot of hotels close to the sea and off course magic turquese water of Liguria! Amazing panoramic views will serround you whenever you do here.

    The sea is incredible but beach mainly taken over privately so there's a tiny patch you can sit at but insanely crowded. Ridiculous prices to enjoy a piece of nature.

    Loved the snorkeling. The public beach fills up fast though. We ended up just dumping our stuff on the side of the small area. Definitely want to get here early.

    The beach is definitely amazing, clear water and amazing nature. However the beach has been taken over by private beach clubs whereas the general public has to fight over a sand square over the very narrow sand lane called public beach. Complete social apartheid.

    Most of the beach is occupied by commercial beach facilities that charge very high prices for their sunbeds and umbrellas. The free public beach is a tiny plot in the middle. Sand beach. Fresh water shower.

    I've been there in November, so that during the low season. Anyway, even if the weather was cloudy You could quite easily notice both the beauty and the cleanliness of the water.

    Loved this beach. The only beach with sand in portofino as I've been told. Lovely views. The service can improve and i wish they had more food options. But all in all it was a great experience

    Beautiful beach, turquoise blue water. Perfect for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkellingโ€ฆlist goes on!! Just know that the beach is largely privatised (sadly!) and the only free sand part is in the middle (about 4 metres). But still, we loved this beach and are already planning to come back!

    Very cute little bay between Santa Margherita and Portofino. Beautiful clear water. The beach is full of fancy restaurants and if you have the budget for Dior, your shopping will be fantastic

    Small beach but excellent view with blue-green sea

  • 4/5 Faruk M. 9 months ago on Google
    Letโ€™s be honest: itโ€™s all about the hype ๐Ÿ˜„ I mean itโ€™s a pretty beach, yes, but itโ€™s extremely narrow (due to the chaise lounges left and right). Still very clean and there is a spot for changing clothes and a public shower.

  • 4/5 Antonio L. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful spot, amazing view, but dirty water, possibly due to the intense boat traffic along the coast.

  • 5/5 Bee 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous views and water! Perfect place to dip if your walking to and from Portofino. Great stop off point. The water is very clear and clean, gorgeous !

  • 4/5 Lucy A. 9 months ago on Google
    Worth a visit, one of the best spots in the Portofino area. Nice to relax at a sandy beach and the water is so gorgeously blue.

  • 4/5 Adreon 8 months ago on Google
    It was honestly an ok experience! My fiance and I entered and asked if we had any reservations, in which case we didn't but they allowed us to sit down to dine in. Once seated the waiters were very attentive to us asking about drinks, specials and foods on the menu. We ordered the crab special which was a 1000kg lobster and came in what felt like a 3 course meal. All very delicious, pasta was definitely al dente. It's just the price point was very steep for 2.

  • 4/5 harly M. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice small beach, not too deep, not too and water not so clear. We paid 25โ‚ฌ p person for a chair. Food and drinks are rather expensive. We had the Spaghetti Vongole, a bit too al dente, not such a big portion and they served it in a carton box. It could have been in a plate .Service was good and attentive. They have changing cabinets and showers
