Andora is the last town in the province of Savona heading towards Ponente: wide sandy beaches, a tourist harbour and a green hinterland rising towards the medieval castle.
The beaches
The coastline of Andora is among the longest in the area, featuring sand and seabeds that slope gently into the sea. Beach clubs and free-access stretches coexist; as in all of Liguria, the location and extent of free areas may change from one season to another, so it is advisable to check on site or ask your accommodation provider.
The harbour and promenade
The tourist harbour is a key reference point for sailing enthusiasts and boat trips; around it develops a pleasant promenade ideal for an evening stroll at sunset. From the pier, the view stretches from Capo Mele across the bay.
The castle and the hinterland
Climbing up behind the town leads to the area of Andora Castle with the medieval Church of Saints James and Philip, one of the most interesting Romanesque-Gothic buildings in the region: a short walk combining history and scenery. The hinterland of the Merula Valley offers routes for cycling and light trekking.
Getting around
Andora has a station on the coastal railway line, and the cycle path following the old railway track towards neighbouring towns also passes through here: a convenient way to get around along the coast without a car.
