Pretty beach with nice views. If you’re not around I am not sure if it’s worth any effort to go there specifically.

Lill bit overrated. Just go 2 km more and you get better beach, less crowded

Wow. Just wow. Parking is very difficult. But if you can grab a spot it's amazing. Swimming with mask is like being in aquarium. Stones can be difficult to maneuver, 7€ shoes from Decathlon did a great job.

Nice beach, water is clear good for snorkelling. No very easy to park around, €15 (all day) on the back close to the mountain.

One of my all time favorite beaches in Liguria

From the top you have the best view ever...got in there is quite easy with an e-bike. Following the 24h Finale’s path is impossible to lose this spot

We loved it, even saw a squid swimming along a few steps into the water.

Patrick Beach, the best beach in Italy, lovely people, great company, friends, and wonderful food. Sunshine, clear water, clean beach - perfect!

Best Pinsa of the world!! La Mavi & #3 Had to come back for a second one the next day!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful structure, tidy and clean, friendly, kind and professional owners and staff, excellent cuisine. Highly recommended. (Original) Struttura bellissima, ordinata e pulita propietari e personale simpatici, gentili e professionali, ottima cucina. Consigliatissimo.

One and only !

(Translated by Google) My ❤️ place when I go to Varigotti. Friendliness of all the staff! Comfortable and beautiful loungers, there is a large swing that I love!!! Spectacular cuisine and wonderful cocktails! The ideal place to spend the holidays, a weekend or even just a carefree day at the beach. (Original) Il mio posto del ❤️ quando vado a Varigotti. Simpatia di tutto lo staff! Lettini comodi e belli, c'è un grande dondolo che adoro!!! Cucina spettacolare e cocktail meravigliosi! Il luogo ideale per trascorrere le vacanze, un weekend o anche solo una giornata spensierata al mare.

(Translated by Google) Embarrassing. We weren't at the establishment, but we had consumed drinks at the bar several times during the day and used the restrooms. After our last drink, when it came time to get the bill (which they asked for at the end because it was too inconvenient to make multiple transactions), they insinuated that we had omitted A BOTTLE OF WATER, practically taking us for thieves. The next time we entered, they even "kindly" approached us to deny us use of the restrooms we had used up until that time. We were lucky to still have customers, given the other similar reviews. (Original) Imbarazzanti. Non eravamo nello stabilimento, ma abbiamo consumato più volte al bar durante la giornata ed abbiamo utilizzato i servizi. Dopo l’ultima consumazione al momento del conto (richiesto alla fine da parte loro perché troppo scomodo fare più transazioni) hanno insinuato che avessimo omesso UNA BOTTIGLIA D’ACQUA prendendoci praticamente per ladri. Addirittura al nostro successivo ingresso ci hanno “gentilmente” avvicinati per negarci l’uso dei servizi fino a quell’ora usati. Miracolati ad avere ancora una clientela visto le altre recensioni simili.

(Translated by Google) Arrogance instead of hospitality I called to ask if we could book a table for lunch and I was truly speechless. As soon as I used a slightly more sophisticated expression (nothing strange, eh), I was immediately mocked, with a sarcastic tone and almost mocking me. When I asked why they were treating me like that, the answer was even worse: I was told that "I have to adapt", that "I'm going to the beach" and therefore I should speak in a less "polished" way. Honestly, it is one of the most absurd and rude conversations I have ever had with someone who works in contact with the public. Education should be the minimum, especially in a place that deals with hospitality. I wouldn't recommend it even if it were the only establishment on the face of the Earth. Even if it were the best food in the universe, I wouldn't go back there even by mistake. (Original) Arroganza invece che ospitalità Ho chiamato per chiedere se si poteva prenotare un tavolo a pranzo e sono rimasta davvero senza parole. Appena ho usato un’espressione un po’ più ricercata (nulla di strano, eh), sono stata subito presa in giro, con un tono sarcastico e quasi facendomi il verso. Quando ho chiesto perché mi stessero trattando così, la risposta è stata ancora peggiore: mi è stato detto che “devo adeguarmi”, che “sto andando al mare” e quindi dovrei parlare in modo meno “forbito”. Sinceramente, è una delle conversazioni più assurde e maleducate che mi sia mai capitato di avere con qualcuno che lavora a contatto con il pubblico. L’educazione dovrebbe essere il minimo, specialmente in un posto che si occupa di accoglienza. Non lo consiglierei neanche se fosse l’unico stabilimento sulla faccia della Terra. Fosse anche il cibo più buono dell’universo, non ci tornerei nemmeno per sbaglio.

We didn't get a chance to enjoy the beach due to the bad weather and big waves, but the food and drinks were good, and the host seemed friendly.

just enjoyed the last day of the Season. Great beach, friendly staff, top drinks at the bar

We go back to Liliana for lunch every trip we take to Varigotti thanks to the friendly staff and delicious food

Nice place to have a day at the beach. Person hosting the venue seems unfriendly and not hospitibal though.

Great place to be. Everyone is welcoming and helpful and the food is great. Very family friendly.

Great service and great value for money. The facilities were good and I would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff and good service.

I have stayed at Bagni Gallo on and off for the last several years when my schedule allows. This beach club is a premium club offering excellent service. The restaurant at the club serves superb food and drink. The staff is kind, professional and accommodating. I highly recommend spending your days at the beach here.

Lovely surprise! We don’t usually expect a lot from beach restaurants but the food and wine were really good and delicate. Can tell it’s made with care, and accompanied by great service!

We had dinner here, two adults and two kids (didn't use the beach). The prices are nearly double of what they should be, which was disappointing. They also charge couvert per person. Varigotti seems to be expensive in general. Better go to the nearby Finale Ligure for dinner. Much better prices with many different options...

Lovely restaurant on the beach , the food was excellent and the service was superb .

Great private beach. Lockers and facilities very clean, pristine azure sea. Best part? They love your dog, too! You're supposed to bring your dog's "passport" to keep everything conforming to local law. Beware - Not cheap! But you get the best for your buck. Nice restaurant, too. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. English spoken.

Extremely happy of the service . The kindness of the waitress was over our expectations. The restaurant was full but they managed to find us a table next to the sea . We will definitely be back !

Very good food! I love open kitchen and loves to see the chef working!

Beautiful location, nice food, attentive staff.

Very nice beach or 'bagni' as they say in Italian. Good beach beds. Go for the front row. Nice meals, fresh and also good vegetarian options. Friendly staff. You can also take surfing lessons or rent a canoe.

Cool beach cafe with sunbeds, wind surfing, canoeing and games for kids. Friendly and nice food.

Good food in front of a beautiful stormy sea

Good food, nice staff.

Lovely staff!

We went to the Dog friendly part of the beach and only had to pay a Fee for the Umbrella and the lounge chairs! They had a Shower for the Dogs and plenty of Water Bowls for them. The Staff was very helpful and friendly, we also got some good drinks at the Bar! All in all a very nice experience!!

Really welcoming, friendly and amazing staff. The prices were fair and you'll get a lot for you and your dog in exchange. We've never had a better dog beach yet.

Best free beach around! Friendly staff, lots of amenities, and great volleyball court.

Very well organized and clean beach👍🏻 It’s the best dog-friendly beach in the area 🐶

This is a dog beach created by dog lovers! You have to pay but only a few euros for an umbrella, but you get dog shower, human shower, dog drinking bowls and shade. Plus poo bags and everything else for furry friends. This is the best dog beach I’ve been to!

Awesome pebble beach with very friendly staff! Many services for good price like free wifi, possibility to charge your device, beach volleyball etc. Dog friendly. I have been there for two consecutive years with my gf and friends and we were always satisfied. Totally my favourite place in Liguria!

Almost everything was great except one single problem. The beach was clean, beautiful and well organized. The problem is the parking posts. There not enough parking for all the tourists there, get there early enough to find one.

(Translated by Google) With a small detour from the main path, you come across this ancient brick church of San Lorenzo. Very beautiful view of the tower and the Varigotti beach on one side, and of the Saraceni bay on the other Stop here for a moment of peace, breath and reflection (Original) Con una piccola deviazione dal sentiero principale, ci si imbatte in questa antica chiesa in muratura di San Lorenzo. Vista molto bella sulla torre e sulla spiaggia di Varigotti da una parte, e sulla baia dei Saraceni dall’altra Fermatevi qui per un attimo di pace, respiro e riflessione

(Translated by Google) The church is beautiful from the outside and above all the walk from the center of Varigotti is pleasant. The little church was closed during a holiday period (1st November long weekend), it may well be there, but it clashes a bit with the clearly visible sign requesting a financial contribution for the restoration. Isn't it better to open it and ask for a voluntary contribution of even just 1 euro with entry? (Original) La chiesetta da fuori è bella e soprattutto la passeggiata dal centro di Varigotti e piacevole. La chiesetta era chiusa, in un periodo festivo (ponte 1o novembre), ci può anche stare, ma stona un po' con il cartello in bella evidenza di richiesta di contributo in denaro per i restauri. Non è meglio aprirla e chiedere in contributo volontario anche solo di 1 euro con l'ingresso?

(Translated by Google) Small church of very ancient origins in a beautiful position overlooking the Spiaggia dei Saraceni and opposite Punta Crena. Reachable with a short 5 minute walk uphill starting from the Strada Vecchia di Varigotti (the one that goes around the tunnel upstream). The building is almost always closed but from the grates you can see the interior quite well, ancient, simple and bare. The best thing is therefore the splendid views that can be enjoyed from the small square in front. (Original) Piccola chiesa di origni molto antiche in bella posizione dominante la Spiaggia dei Saraceni e dirimpetto a Punta Crena . Raggiungibile con una breve passeggiata di 5 minuti in salita partendo dalla Strada Vecchia di Varigotti ( quella che aggira a monte la galleria ) . L' edificio è quasi sempre chiuso ma dalle grate si riesce a vederne abbastanza bene l' interno , antico , semplice e spoglio . La cosa migliore sono quindi le splendide visuali che si godono dal piazzaletto antistante .

(Translated by Google) There is no satisfaction without commitment. It's not a climb, but you can feel the effort of the climb; this induces the soul to reflect along the route, to linger at the various points of view, to admire a typically Ligurian panorama. The Mediterranean scrub surrounds this small church; to reach it you immerse yourself in the green vegetation and its scents. The Pilgrim's path continues with other wonders of nature, but you can also stop here and rest in religious silence. (Original) Non c'è soddisfazione senza impegno. Non è una scalata, ma si avverte la fatica della salita; questo induce l'animo a riflettere lungo il percorso, a soffermarsi nei vari punti di vista, per ammirare un panorama tipicamente ligure. La macchia mediterranea circonda questa piccola chiesetta; per raggiungerla ci si immerge nel verde della vegetazione e nei suoi profumi. Il sentiero del Pellegrino prosegue con altre meraviglie della natura, ma ci si può anche fermare qui e sostare in religioso silenzio.

(Translated by Google) To get to the church of San Lorenzo you need to take a short detour from the pilgrim's path in Varigotti. The panoramic point offers a first view of Punta Crena and the Saraceni Bay. I highly recommend it! (Original) Per arrivare alla chiesa di San Lorenzo bisogna fare una breve deviazione dal sentiero del pellegrino a Varigotti. Il punto panoramico offre una prima visuale su Punta Crena e la Baia dei Saraceni. La consiglio vivamente!

(Translated by Google) Ancient structure from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Saraceni Bay. Requires a flat walk. Recommended but obviously not me super hot at the end of July. (Original) Struttura antica da cui si gode una bellissima vista sulla Baia dei Saraceni. Richiede una passeggiata pianeggiante. Consigliata ma ovviamente non io super caldo di fine luglio.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful walk to the church of San Lorenzo and a suggestive view of the tower and the medieval ruins... and finally, the sea and the olive trees. (Original) Bella passeggiata per arrivare alla chiesa di San Lorenzo e suggestiva la vista della Torre e delle rovine medioevali... e a completamento il mare e gli ulivi.

lovely bay

Nice tower.

Nice spot to see the sunrising

Hermosa!

Closed for maintemance

Nice views!

A rocky hike. There are steps some distorted but not a long hike. Beautiful panoramic. They have permanently blocked entrance to the top of the tower. Dogs allowed must be on a leash , protected botanic area.

Hi, I hate to give rates, so I do it only when it’s too much. When your wife came few minutes ago and was told there was space for 60 euros for one pair of long chairs, so you come and suddenly there is no space available with no explication. It was literally few minutes after and there was plenty of spaces available. The waitress told me exactly this before her manager the rude bold guy arrives and gives another version and reject us even if we were ready to pay 60 euros for 2 hours stay in your incredible private little beach. You are lucky this city is beautiful enough to cover your bad behaviour. To be honest and I could have argue with you in front if I didn’t have my too little babies burning under the sun. We bought a parasol and we had a wonderful time but this has to be said. Thanks to the young waitress for their honesty, don’t lose yourself like the old bold guy. PS : I gave 2 stars because the city is really wonderful !

Rude. We came in for an afternoon coffee by the sea and to get some shade. Owner told us we could sit but would need to leave if the lunch rush came, as it was close to 13:00. We understood and happily agreed (and did finish up promptly). Tried to be respectful and quiet for the brief time we were there. Then they insulted us for no apparent reason. Perhaps assuming we would not understand. Or they are just shameless enough not to care. The coffee was nice enough, but certainly left a bad taste in my mouth. We walked down the beach and found a very friendly place to spend the afternoon instead.

We love this little beach and the staff is great

Great place with lovely people. Love it! 💛💛💛

Welcoming staff, attention to detail, commitment to achieve a quality service.

(Translated by Google) Very nice and well-kept establishment, with plenty of space between one workstation and another which allows you greater relaxation. The staff is very kind and helpful. We also had a very good time with the food, well-made dishes with quality raw materials. It is certainly not a "cheap" place, let's say, the prices are medium-high but fully justified by the quality and services offered in my opinion. We will definitely return. (Original) Stabilimento molto bello e curato, con abbondante spazio tra una postazione e l’altra il che ti permette un maggiore relax. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile. Anche per quanto concerne il cibo ci siamo trovati molto bene, piatti ben realizzati e con materie prime di qualità. Sicuramente non è posto “economico” diciamo, i prezzi sono medio-alti ma giustificati a pieno dalla qualità e dai servizi offerti a mio avviso. Ritorneremo sicuramente.

(Translated by Google) At the restroom bar: Thanks guys!! You really gave me a great, fun afternoon! Friendliness sometimes counts more than anything. Tables are very well spaced apart...unusual. Thanks also for letting me change in the giant-sized changing room after doing my laundry. See you at the next warning sign for wild boars? 👋 (Original) Al bar del bagno: Grazie ragazzi!! Mi avete proprio fatto passare un bel pomeriggio divertente! La simpatia conta talvolta più di tutto. Tavolini molto ben distanziati l'uno dall'altro...cosa insolita. Grazie anche per avermi permesso di cambiarmi alla cabina formato gigante dopo aver fatto "la lavatrice" Ci vediamo al prossimo cartello attenzione cinghiali? 👋

We came early because we are from Valle d'Aosta, this picture was taken 3rd week of June 2025, Everything was perfect when you early the parking was free in front of the entrance, They open at 8am, you can bring your umbrella and bed or food or you can rent, Remember their SHOWER Not allowed to use shampoo or any soap JUST RINSE

Beautiful place, sea water are cristal clear. Clean and well maintained beach. You can park along the road, or park with payments secure.

Uncrowded in early June, water is still a bit cold but refreshing. Parking in front but it was easy to find it since it was low season. Entrance is 5 euro per person, you can bring your own blanket and umbrella if you don't want to rent. If you go from around 3:30, they don't collect fees. If you don't want to hear the bar music, go to the far left side. More peace and quiet there.

When I come to Liguria, this is a must-visit place to spend a whole day ... Everything is very organized and clean. Thank you for a wonderful stay 😉 PS: please help to put the umbrella up if necessary, I'm smaller than the umbrella, so how can I put it in …? 🙏🏻 PPS: the beach staff does everything but not protect guests in the water... It's a pity, I would like to feel safe in the water…

I mean, this is as good as it gets! For Liguria at least! Incredible transparent water, not so busy, not so expensive, although you do have to pay 5€ per person. It is worthy.

Crystal clear waters (blue flag standard), still half wild, not commercialised but with an option of umbrellas and sunbeds rent, not placed permanently on the beach but on request for clients to place independently. All services available (parking, bathrooms, shower and bar / restaurant as well as kayak, paddling and pedalo rent) all with modest prices comparing to the beaches in the zone. Highly reccomended.

You need to go early for parking, otherwise you won't find any parking. very nice beach ⛱️⛱️⛱️

Great place for aperitivo and lunch! Staff is very nice and helpful. Generous portions and different fresh fruit for cocktails as well 😆

We were looking for a restaurant to have lunch. Not much places is opened or have bad reviews. We have visited this place and were completly amazed by friendly and helpful staff and high quality of food for reasonable price. We will definately come back. One big plus - the staff knows the menu so there is no problem if you have food alergies.

Very friendly staff (unlike most of liguria :D), amaaaazing food, unbeatable views! Get a caipiroska with strawberry!

Very nice food and quality in all details. We spent a rainy afternoon looking at the sea eating and had some Aperitivo.

Lovely staff and only 15 euro’s for two beds. The Guy at the bar is a genius and super friendly.

Fantastic place, fabulous hosts, great for children, tasty drinks, super scenery. Want to go there again.

Friendly staff and delicious food

Amazing location looking over and almost on top of the beach. The staff were very friendly and not overly attentive- good knowledge of local wines, which was great. The food did not disappoint at all, delicious pasta, fresh fish, and tasty home made desserts.

La Ruggia is a fantastic spot for fish lovers – so good that we came back a second time during our stay in Varigotti. The mussels were outstanding, full of flavor, and the burrata-stuffed anchovies were just as impressive. The tuna tartar tagliolini was out of this world, and the devil fish was also excellent. On our second visit we had to order the mussels again, and also enjoyed the fried calamari with carrots and zucchini, which were light and delicious. For the main course we shared the catch of the day (dorado) for two, perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The meal was rounded off beautifully with a tiramisu that was excellent. Both the beer selection and the white wine we had were also very good and paired perfectly with the dishes. The setting couldn’t be better – right on the beach, with the sound of the waves and a view of the sunset. Service was friendly, helpful, and very accommodating. Truly a memorable dining experience and highly recommended.

At La Ruggia, we enjoyed one of the most memorable happy hours of the trip. The terrace, with its breathtaking ocean views, set the stage for a truly elevated experience. We sipped hand-crafted cocktails that were as beautiful as they were delicious, made by bartenders who were both professional and genuinely friendly. The vibe was relaxed yet refined , a five-star experience in every sense, where the service, setting, and drinks all came together in perfect harmony.

The place is wonderful, nice beach and there is also a nice bar/restaurant/beach resort "la Ruggia" just in front of the sea! Wonderful!

Very enjoyable experience at La Ruggia! Amazing food! We have tried multiple dishes and EVERYTHING tasted perfect 👌 Extremely friendly and very accommodating staff 🫶 Will definitely be back when in the area ☀️

Very unfriendly and unprofessional staff. We've never got a table here even everything was empty. Even though we were asking for any time to return until midnight they didn't offer anything. Foreigners should definitely stay away from here, seems to be gatekeeped for locals. Even of the people who have been here, I have not heard much good.

To start the view and the people were amazing. They serve a lightly fried bread with veggies in it before bringing out the meal. We had the mussels and a pasta. These were amazing and we did not leave a drop as everything was incredible. We stopped on a road trip. Definitely worth it!!!

(Translated by Google) Very kind and courteous response to the email within a few hours (Original) Molto gentile e cortese risposta alla mail dooo poche ore
