About the beach

In the municipality of Santa Margherita Ligure, in the province of Genoa (Liguria), Minaglia is a pebble beach on the Ligurian Sea.

Orientation: east (108°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Ponente (W) or Mistral (NW), keeps it calm; the Levante (E) or Sirocco (SE) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.

Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.

Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
