Arma di Taggia

Arma di Taggia is a seaside resort on the Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria, forming the coastal part of the municipality of Taggia, in the province of Imperia. It is known for its long beach, one of the more extensive stretches along this part of the coast, combining sand and pebbles, with a lively promenade during the summer months. The mild Mediterranean climate makes it a pleasant destination year-round, not just in high season. Nearby, the medieval old town of Taggia is worth a visit for its narrow streets, Roman bridge, and long-standing olive-growing tradition, the area being well known for taggiasca olive oil. History enthusiasts can also head to the abandoned village of Bussana Vecchia, now home to an artists' community living among ruins left by a 19th-century earthquake. Arma di Taggia makes a convenient base for exploring the Ligurian coast, with Sanremo just a short drive away and easy access to the inland villages. The town offers a straightforward, family-friendly seaside setting, well suited to holiday flats and residence-style stays.
