The Bay of the Saracens is one of the most beautiful coves in western Liguria, a small crescent of fine pale pebbles and sand enclosed by the Punta Crena and Capo Noli headlands. The sheltered position gives strikingly clear turquoise water. Very popular and compact, so arrive early in high summer to find space.
