Viareggio Tito del Molo (Ala Moana)
Edit SpotAbout
Go to Molo if are in this area, there is inshore wind, big swell and you can't go to more proteced spots like Levanto or Varazze.
Atmosphere:
Friendly atmosphere. Nice place to spend few days even if waves quality is not at top. If you have girlfriend waiting for you surfing, she walk along ?Passeggita?, a long promenade with lots of clothing shops. Be careful with your Visa... It can be an expensive session!
Additional Info:
When it is really big, there is an outside reef called Bocchetta. It is right in front to the port entrance. Watch out for boats!
