Lilac Flag
Loano, barrier-free tourism
Hospitality: it's the watchword in Loano
Loano, in fact, obtained the Lilac Flag, the award that recognizes and supports municipalities and private operators who, with foresight, pay special attention to inclusiveness.
What makes Loano suitable for tourists with disabilities?
His seafront, for example: being equipped with ramps and slides (placed at the major crossing points) is easily accessible even by those with mobility difficulties.
As those who frequent Loano know, the boardwalk is “cantilevered” from the beaches. This means that the shoreline is “downstairs” from the street level. But this is not a problem: the establishments, in fact, are equipped with slides and stair lifts, so even those who are in wheelchairs or have difficulty walking can enjoy our beautiful sea.
Beaches
Within the municipal beaches there are then several services dedicated precisely to those who cannot walk independently. Such as the Job chair which allows those who frequent the Murena, Medusa, Lampara and Delfino baths and have walking problems to reach the sea and bathe in it.
At the Dolphin and Lampara, however, Tiralò is active, a wheelchair that allows people with disabilities to comfortably reach the shore and get rid of the wheelchair support once they reach the water. The floating wheelchair is equipped with two armrests and three wide pneumatic wheels that ensure easy transit over sand and stones. Disabled people and their companions who frequent municipal beaches. Are entitled to special rates (for full details see the institutional website of the municipality of Loano).
