Popular beach section of Baia del Silenzio in Sestri Levante.

Sestri Levante is a real pearl in Liguria. What makes the Italian seaside town special: Due to its location, the community not only has a long sandy beach, but also a beautiful small bay: Baia del Silenzio (Bay of Silence).

The water here is as smooth as glass, the sand is fine unlike most other Ligurian beaches, and the visit is extremely popular with bathers and tourists. However, the crowds are so large that an entrance fee must now be paid during the summer months. Mayor Francesco Solinas is said to have conveyed this issue to the Italian news agency Ansa.

Children and local people remain free

Visitors will now have to pay five euros next summer. Admission should remain free for local residents and children. The mayor does not want to allow more than 400 guests on the beach at any one time.

The seaside resort is also popular with Swiss holidaymakers; SBB has been offering direct train connections since last summer. Mayor Solinas said the revenue will be used for security, lifeguards and beach cleaning.

Geranium with visitor’s hat

Many municipalities in Italy have planned or implemented similar steps. There are beaches in Sardinia that charge 3.50 euros and only accept a certain number of guests.

There are now 300 daily visitors in both Cala dei Gabbiani and Cala Biriala. Cala Goloritze is limited to 250 visitors per day, while Cala Mariolu, the largest beach in the region, accommodates a maximum of 700 visitors. (what is that)
