Baia Blu

Beautiful beach with the bonus of a pool a couple of levels higher. From noon there’s a self-service buffet. The coffee is very good. We had a reservation and paid €45 on a Saturday for two sunbeds, an umbrella, and parking with a shuttle service. The shuttle itself was a fun ride and made everything easier. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and with a reservation they’ll also hold a parking spot for you.

Stunning views. Amazing for families with children. Can really just relax and unwind here.

The place is really beautiful! The beach is super clean! And it’s really a place to totally relax. Loved as it was mostly locals who came to this place! Remember to book before hand as it gets crowded here. And on Sundays, if you haven’t booked, don’t even bother to go there. Also, choose the beach area for sitting instead of the terrace area.

This is probably the best beach for anyone in La Spezia, however, this review is written to provide information about the surroundings and how to get there. If you are travelling by public transport, it is a 35-40 minutes bus ride from La spezia Centrale. Bus tickets cannot be purchased on the bus (unlike in Rome). We were fined €35 each for not having a bus ticket despite trying to ask the bus driver how to buy tickets and willing to get off and buying a bus ticket after we were told tickets needed to be bought from a bar. Once you get off the bus, it is a 15-20 minutes walk uphill and you reach a hotel area (this looks like a private resort) you have to walk downhill for about 10 minutes before you reach the private beach. The public beach is a very small area but nice enough. The water itself is full of rocks that cut your feet so not ideal unless you have aqua shoes. On the way back you have to walk uphill to get the bus back. Mind you, on the way back lots of people that work in the ship yard get on and it’s a real struggle on the bus. My overall recommendation is unless you have your own means of transportation, do not go to this beach, it isn’t worth your time and hassle. This is a place I’d gladly never visit again.

Super cool beach Need to reserve place on time Good food and good drinks

Beautiful beach between two mountains beautiful nature, clean sea and good services but it is necessary to book in advance before coming to the beach

20 euro for the sun-bed on the free beach. But also you can stay without renting a sun-bed. The nature is beautiful!

Beautiful and fun. Several food & drinks options, and pool and showers. We took the bus from the parking lot for $5 (+$10 that were reimbursed at the entrance) We booked in advance- it’s recommended to. There is a free beach too.
