About Lavagna
Lavagna is an easy-access Ligurian beach and marina site that works best for relaxed scuba, training runs, and casual water time rather than hard-bottom hunting. The beach is long and sandy with a gentle slope, so entry stays simple and the shoreline stays useful for low-friction sessions. The port makes short boat runs into the Portofino area easy when you want more structure and fish life. Plan around summer beach traffic, port movement, and modest swell on the exposed side.

Local Intel For Lavagna
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best for relaxed shore sessions, beginner refreshers, and short boat runs into the Portofino area when you want more structure and fish life.
Freedive
The shallow beach section can work for calm freediving practice, but it is more of a casual shore-water base than a dedicated breath-hold site.
Snorkel
Snorkeling is strongest in the calm beach shallows and is less attractive right by active marina traffic.
