The tower overlooking the Bay of Silence in Sestri

La torre che domina la Baia del Silenzio a Sestri Levante

The tower overlooking the Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante.
The Bay of Silence is famous for its colorful houses overlooking the sea and just a few meters from the water.
One of these buildings, which I called a tower in the title due to its structure, always fascinates me, especially for the view from the glass window on the top floor.
Unfortunately, I have only enjoyed the view from someone else's shots, but I hope that one day someone will invite me up there.

The houses on the Sestri Peninsula seen from Ciappa du Lu.
Some time ago now, I went to the famous rock called Ciappa du Lu (reachable from the path that starts from Sestri to go to Punta Manara).
From there, with my telephoto lens, I took several photos of the Sestri Peninsula from an unusual (for me) perspective.

Don't you also think the view from this rock is splendid?

This morning the bay was truly spectacular.
March and April are probably the best months to take a quiet walk, even on Sundays, in this heavenly place!

The path that leads to the sea in the Bay of Silence

Il viottolo che porta al mare in Baia del Silenzio

The path that leads to the sea in Baia del Silenzio.
Walking along via Portobello until you reach the entrance to the Ex Convento dell’Annuzniata you can continue along this narrow path until you reach one of the points with the most beautiful view of the Baia del Silenzio.
That point, which as a boy I heard called “La Canala” has a wall completely covered with vandalistic graffiti that, however, over time have become truly characteristic.

Do you know this particular spot in the bay?

A glimpse of Via Cappuccini in Sestri Levante.
The narrow streets that crowd the part of land that separates the two bays of Sestri Levante (the Bay of Silence and the Bay of Fairy Tales) form the historic center of my town.
This street is the one I walk most often to go and admire the Bay of Silence.

The Bay of Silence of Sestri Levante in April

La Baia del Silenzio di Sestri Levante ad aprile

The Bay of Silence in Sestri Levante in April.
It is one of the most precious gems of the Ligurian Riviera. With its crescent shape and crystal clear waters, this bay enchants visitors with its beauty and tranquility. In April, the bay awakens from its winter torpor, offering a unique natural spectacle and an atmosphere of peace and serenity.
In April, the Bay of Silence presents itself in all its splendor. The mild temperatures and longer days invite you to stroll along the beach and enjoy the spring sun. The pastel-colored houses that surround the bay reflect the sunlight, creating a magical and relaxing atmosphere. It is the ideal time to visit this corner of paradise, before the summer tourist influx reaches its peak.
The Bay of Silence is not only a place to relax, but also offers various activities for those seeking a little adventure. Water sports enthusiasts can practice windsurfing, sailing or kayaking in the calm waters of the bay. For those who prefer to explore the mainland, the scenic coastal paths offer breathtaking views and are perfect for romantic strolls or energizing hikes.
After a day of activities, visitors can enjoy local culinary delights in the restaurants and bars overlooking the bay. Pesto Genovese, local olive oil and Ligurian white wines are just some of the specialties that can be enjoyed while watching the sun set over the bay.
The Bay of Silence is located at the eastern end of the Sestri Levante peninsula. It is easily reached on foot from the historic center, along Corso Colombo and Via XXV Aprile. For those arriving by car, there are several free parking areas near the center, although during the high season it can be difficult to find a space.
The Bay of Silence is a delicate ecosystem that is home to Posidonia meadows and a variety of marine species. To preserve this unique environment, the Municipality of Sestri Levante has implemented measures to regulate access to the bay and prevent overcrowding. Visitors are encouraged to respect local rules to ensure the sustainability of this natural paradise.
