-Coast of Liguria – Three marine protected areas and a sanctuary for cetaceans-

Off Liguria’s coast between San Remo and Cinqueterre, three marine protected areas (Area Marina Protetta di Bergeggi, AMP di Portofino and AMP di Cinqueterre) are located within the large PELAGOS marine mammal sanctuary. Striped dolphins, porpoises, beaked whales, pilot whales and sperm whales can be spotted here on a whale watching boat tour.

You will snorkel in the company of marine biologists over seagrass beds, sand and rock – from the beach and from a boat. Samples are taken and determined with microscopes.
Talking to local fishermen, you will learn about one of the oldest fishing methods with the Ligurian “tonnarelle”, which according to today’s knowledge is one of the most sustainable and eco-compatible fishing methods!

The coastal tour on the Sentiero di Levante offers the most fantastic view of the Gulf of Genoa and the wide blue.
