Liamone
The mouth of the Liamone river in the Gulf of Sagone, with very good sandbanks.
The Liamone river flows out onto a long beach in the Gulf of Sagone. The river's sediment forms banks that, with a west swell and an easterly wind, can give long, well-shaped waves.
Quality depends on how the banks have settled after the winter floods.
