Sanremo is a popular Italian Riviera seaside resort between Genoa and the French border. Here is travel and tourism information for Sanremo. San Remo, Italy's largest and oldest winter health resort, lies on the "Riviera dei Fiori", in a bay enclosed by a semicircle of hills. From San Remo it is only about 20km/12mi to the Italian-French frontier.
Thanks to its sheltered situation San Remo has a mild and equable climate in winter, and in summer it is a lively and popular resort, with a beach which is partly artificial. Here olive groves have given place to greenhouses in which carnations and roses are grown for export.
Festival di San Remo
Every year in February the Italian Popular Song Festival takes place here.

Named after the famous Italian Riviera resort town, San Remo is situated at the southern entrance to Western Port Bay. A bridge in the town centre provides a link from the mainland to the popular holiday destination of Phillip Island.
San Remo's commercial centre stretches along Marine Parade which runs parallel to Phillip Island Road and the bridge across to the island. Cafes, bakeries, two hotels, restaurants and gift shops line this tourist precinct. Across the road from the shops at the western end of Marine Parade is a park with BBQ and picnic areas that stretches down to a sandy beach.
Originally established as a deep water port for the transportation of farm produce and coal to Melbourne in the mid-1800s, a thriving fishing industry soon developed in San Remo and it is currently the base for Australia's largest shark fishing fleet. The main hub of boating activity occurs around the network of elevated walkways which constitutes the San Remo Jetty, offering direct access to both Western Port Bay and Bass Strait. On the beach foreshore adjacent to the San Remo Jetty, pelicans are fed daily from freshly caught fish at around 12 noon.
