One of the two iconic bays of Sestri Levante (together with the Baia delle Favole), the Baia del Silenzio receives fame and, in part, its name, for having been a source of inspiration for writers, artists and scientists over the centuries. Importantly, in order to protect the delicate ecosystem of the bay, the local authorities have introduced a regime of restricting visitors during the bathing season between 08.00 and 17.00.

That of Silence is an enchanting bay which over the centuries has been the land of choice for numerous poets, writers, painters, musicians and scientists. Among others, the German composer Richard Wagner, the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen and the Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi stayed here. The bay is characterized by a sandy beach with crystal clear water and is counted among the ten most beautiful beaches in Italy. It houses a small fishing port and is framed by the colorful houses of Sestri Levante, but also by important historic buildings that make the landscape even more characteristic.
