Lavagna: Spiaggia Bocciofila Cavi Di Lavagna - Lido n.13 - Spiaggia libera
Tucked along the Ligurian Sea on the Gulf of Tigullio, Cavi di Lavagna is a coastal settlement whose character is shaped by a narrow pebble shore between the water and steep Ligurian hills. Lido n.13 and the free beach are part of its seafront, while Spiaggia Bocciofila takes its name from bocce, the traditional Italian bowls game. Breakwaters shelter sections of the coast, and the built-up shoreline follows the railway and road corridor linking Riviera towns. Cavi belongs to the municipality of Lavagna, and the Gulf of Tigullio continues east towards Sestri Levante. It is a distinctly inhabited stretch of coast, where beach facilities, homes and transport routes share limited ground beside the sea.

Lavagna straddles the alluvial plain at the mouth of the Entella River in eastern Liguria, a position that has shaped it as a coastal town connected to the routes of the Tigullio. Its long seafront and broad beach set it apart from many of the steeper settlements along this stretch of the Ligurian coast, while hills rise quickly inland. The historic centre reflects the legacy of the Fieschi, the medieval counts of Lavagna, and the Basilica of Santo Stefano is a notable local monument. Slate quarrying in the Ligurian hinterland has also long been part of the town’s identity. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Lavagna and the Tigullio coast.

Liguria is best known within Italy for the Cinque Terre, five historic coastal villages set above the Ligurian Sea. This narrow north-western region runs between the sea and the Ligurian Alps and Apennines, giving it a densely settled coastline, steep terraces and compact inland valleys. Genoa, its capital, developed as one of the Mediterranean’s great maritime powers; its old town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The region is also closely associated with pesto alla Genovese, traditionally made with basil, pine nuts, garlic, cheese and olive oil.

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
