Overview

Ventimiglia is the last Italian town before the French border, on the Riviera di Ponente. The spot is located at the mouth of the Roya river, offering a pebble and sand beach facing the Ligurian Sea. The spot catches southwest (Libeccio) and southeast (Scirocco/Marin) winds arriving onshore to side-onshore. The proximity to the French Riviera and the Mediterranean setting make it a pleasant spot.
