The cycling and walking path of the Riviera dei Fiori Coastal Park was built along the old railway line and runs for kilometres right beside the sea, linking Sanremo to Ospedaletti, Arma di Taggia and beyond. It's flat, scenic and suitable for everyone: families, keen cyclists and anyone who simply wants a stroll by the sea. It's one of the area's best-loved attractions and among the most beautiful seaside cycle paths in Italy.
The route and how long it is
The main route runs for about 24 kilometres along the coast, but you can ride just the stretch you like. Because it's flat and traffic-free, it suits less experienced riders too: on an e-bike you can easily cover the whole path and stop wherever you like. You can start from Sanremo heading west (Ospedaletti) or east (Arma di Taggia).
Where to rent a bike
There are several hire points along the route, offering standard and electric bikes, tandems, scooters and family rickshaws. Prices vary by rental time and type of vehicle; in high season it's best to book or arrive early. Many rentals provide helmets and child seats.
What to see along the way
Along the way you'll pass beaches, coves, restored old stations, lit tunnels and seaside bars for a break. The stretch towards Ospedaletti has some of the finest views, especially at sunset, while heading east you reach Arma di Taggia and its lidos. It's a lovely way to experience the Riviera dei Fiori at a slow pace.
Useful tips
Bring water, sun cream and a hat: the exposed stretches get very sunny. The path is shared with pedestrians, so keep your speed down. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for riding in cooler weather with fewer people around. If you stay near the cycle path, you can set off by bike straight from your door.
