On the 28th of June I mentioned a sunrise swim in the Mediterranean.
We were staying in Sanremo on the Ligurian coast on our way from Florence to Arles. We could have done the whole trip in one day (7 hours of highway driving), but that would have meant driving past stuff we thought we probably wanted to see.
The idea of a swim came to us after dinner, late the evening before. I checked for public beaches in the area (private beaches... what are they about??) and discovered a horseshoe cove a five minute walk from our accommodation.
Volo Beach is on the outskirts of Sanremo, and is overlooked by a German World War Two miniature submarine base. The water is clear (and very salty and buoyant) and full of little fish that nibble your feet as soon as you stop swimming.
Not drowning, waving
It probably isn't the most picturesque of beaches, but at 06:30 it was private, quiet, and pretty enough to feel special.
