A sunset in Baia delle Favole in Sestri Levante.
Some time ago now I took these beautiful photos of the sun setting seen from the promenade of Sestri Levante.
With the sun slowly disappearing behind Mount Portofino while the sunbeds and umbrellas are slowly closed for the night.

The Bay of Silence photographed in July 2023.
Exactly one year ago I was at home and enjoying my Sestri Levante in the summer.
In the morning, during the week, the Bay of Silence is still accessible to locals… but on the weekend it becomes truly unlivable!

The Baia delle Favole in Sestri Levante at night.
I really like night photos but I admit that I'm not that good at taking them.
First of all because I never have a tripod, and I always have to rest the camera on some object and then because I never have the patience to try and try again until I find the best settings.
Walking in the Baia delle Favole in Sestri Levante, one summer evening, I tried to take a couple of photos.
Judge the result for yourself!

The caruggio of Sestri Levante in summer.
This is the busiest street in my town: the caruggio (its real name is via XXV Aprile).
Lots of shops, a few bars, a couple of bakeries and a few restaurants.
In the beating heart, especially in summer (and this photo was taken in July last year), of Sestri.

The beautiful village of Zoagli seen from inside the sea.
Last summer I had fun taking this type of photographs from inside the sea water using my action cam.
The result was not always noteworthy but in this case the photos were not bad.

Here is where the village beach is located:
A well-known and appreciated seaside resort, it is famous for its pedestrian cliff overlooking the sea, built in the 1930s with the economic contribution of the inhabitants; in the Zoagli area there are also several natural woodland paths, the characteristic Ligurian crêuze, and mule tracks that allow you to reach the hamlets and localities of the municipality from the city centre.

Zoagli's central beach in summer.
Liguria, one of Italy's most fascinating regions, is famous for its spectacular coastline, picturesque seaside villages and the crystal-clear waters of the Ligurian Sea. Among its many wonders, Zoagli beach stands out as a hidden gem, loved by locals and tourists looking for an authentic and relaxing experience.
Zoagli is a small town located between Rapallo and Chiavari, in the heart of the Riviera di Levante. Zoagli beach offers a breathtaking view, nestled between the hills covered with olive trees and the brilliance of the sea. This seaside village maintains its historical and cultural essence intact, with its narrow streets, colorful houses and the tranquility that can be felt at every corner.
Zoagli beach is mainly composed of pebbles and rocks, which give the water an extraordinary transparency and shades of blue that will leave you breathless. It is not very large, which makes it a perfect place for those who want to avoid the crowds of the more touristy beaches. Here, you can enjoy a serene and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for reading a book, snorkeling or simply tanning under the Ligurian sun.
One of the distinctive elements of Zoagli is its suggestive seafront promenade, dedicated to Carlo Borsini. This pedestrian path, which runs along the coast, offers spectacular panoramic views and leads visitors through enchanting corners, including small coves and panoramic points ideal for taking souvenir photos. It is a perfect place for a walk at sunset, when the sky and the sea are tinged with warm and enveloping colors.
Despite its small size, the beach of Zoagli offers various services for bathers. There are bathing establishments equipped with umbrellas and sun loungers, but also free areas where you can lay out your towel. In addition, in the area around the beach, there are bars and restaurants where you can taste local specialties, such as fresh fish and Ligurian focaccia.
Zoagli is not just sea and relaxation. The village is also known for its tradition in the processing of silk and velvet, with artisan workshops that produce high-quality fabrics. A visit to the historic center allows you to discover these ancient traditions, as well as enjoy the local hospitality and typical cuisine.
Zoagli is easily accessible by car or train. The train station is located a few steps from the center and the beach, making access convenient even for those who prefer to travel by public transport. In addition, for those arriving by car, parking is available nearby.
Zoagli beach is a corner of paradise in the splendid setting of Liguria. With its tranquil atmosphere, crystal-clear waters and breathtaking natural setting, it is the ideal destination for those seeking a regenerating break away from the chaos of the most crowded tourist destinations. A place where time seems to have stopped, allowing visitors to rediscover the pleasure of simplicity and authentic beauty.

The statue of the Fisherman from inside the sea in Sestri Levante.
Last summer I had fun taking several photos of the Baia del Silensio, the famous natural inlet of my town, Sestri Levante, from inside the sea with the latest gadget I bought for the Gopro (the dome).
The photos, out of a hundred or so, a couple came out decently, they are very particular and I like them very much.
In this one there is the statue of the Fisherman with the rocks at the water's edge in the foreground and the Ex Convento dell'Annunziata in the background.

The beautiful Sori seen from inside the sea.
I still have some photos of all the ones I took last summer with my Gopro, in the waters of the villages of Eastern Liguria.
These were of the beautiful seaside village of Sori seen from inside the water.
I also had the dome but I was really new to it and they came out much better using only the camera.
