Things to do in Laigueglia
A fishing village with its narrow lanes, the sandy beach in front and the hill right behind.
Laigueglia has remained a village. The coloured houses reach right down to the sand, the lanes are narrow and car-free, and in the evening everyone meets in the same two squares.
Here you will find what to see and what is around. Where to eat fish, the beaches and the best spots for photos are in our free guides.
