Barcola Seafront
Lungomare di Barcola
A seafront promenade north of the city center where locals sunbathe on stone terraces and under pine trees, swim off the rocks, and hold the Barcolana regatta in autumn.
Barcola has no sandy beach. Its coastline consists of stretches of concrete platforms (known locally as topolini) and pine-shaded lawns, which fill with sunbathers and swimmers in summer. Every October the Barcolana sailing regatta draws more than 2,000 boats, making it one of the world's largest sailing races. You can get there by bus line 6 or by cycling along the coast, and continuing north brings you to Miramare Castle.
