The Ligurian Sea from a different perspective
Enjoy your experience
Sea and water sports lovers
The Portofino promontory offers a variety of seaside activities ranging from relaxing days in the sun to more dynamic water sports. Its beaches, including the famous Paraggi Beach, are renowned for their crystal-clear waters and breathtaking scenery. In addition to sunbathing and swimming, visitors can practice sports such as surfing in the town of Recco, rent a boat in Santa Margherita to admire the entire promontory from the sea, such as Porto Pidocchio, and moor at Punta Chiappa for pleasant snorkeling. Diving is also very popular, thanks to the rich marine biodiversity of the Portofino Regional Natural Park and the famous Christ of the Abyss in San Fruttuoso di Camogli.


Diving
Just a few meters from the coast, in the turquoise waters of San Fruttuoso, lies one of the most famous underwater works in the world: the Christ of the Abyss. This bronze statue, about 2.5 meters high and positioned at a depth of 17 meters, is a symbol of peace and protection for sailors and divers. Placed in 1954, the work was created by the sculptor Guido Galletti on the initiative of Duilio Marcante, considered one of the fathers of modern scuba diving.
The Christ of the Abyss is a sacred and evocative place, perfect for those who wish to have a unique experience under the sea. The dive is suitable for both experienced divers and beginners, thanks to the relative ease of access and the presence of specialized centers that offer courses and professional guidance.

Surf in Recco
Recco stands out for its unique geographical conformation, which favors the formation of consistent waves especially during the autumn and winter season. The swells coming from the south-west create ideal conditions for surfing, attracting sportsmen from all over Italy and beyond.
The waves in Recco are suitable for all levels, from beginners who want to approach surfing for the first time, to experienced riders looking for more intense challenges. The main beach is the reference point for those who wish to ride the waves in a safe and fascinating context.

Boat rental and sport fishing
By renting a boat, you have the freedom to choose how to experience your day: diving into clear waters, snorkeling among the seabed rich in life, or simply relaxing in the sun. For the more adventurous, it is possible to explore sea caves and hidden coves, away from the crowded tourist beaches.
