Living in San Lorenzo al Mare

A Quiet Beach Town at the End of the Path

San Lorenzo al Mare is a small town of about 1.3 km², around 10 km west of Imperia.

The coastal cycle path ends here, after 24 km from Ospedaletti, and the town has a small marina, beaches and a compact old centre. Imperia is a short drive away for everything a larger town offers.

Buyers come for a holiday apartment by the sea or the marina. With very few homes on the market, average asking prices and rents here move sharply and should be read with care.

Investing in San Lorenzo al Mare

A Marina Upgrade and a New Beach Path

In October 2023 Regione Liguria approved a planning change for the Marina di San Lorenzo. It allows more space for boat repair and storage, a longer slipway for larger boats, more parking and services, and a café for cycle path users in the old railway cottage.

In July 2026 the Region part-funded a step-free path to the free beach on the west side of town, making it accessible to everyone: €150,000 of a €200,000 project.

Timings are the stated aims of councils and developers, and several approvals are still pending.
