Deiva Marina is a small Italian comune in the province of La Spezia (region of Liguria), located about 65 kilometres (40 mi) east of the city of Genoa on the Riviera di Levante. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[3]
It is a quiet touristic resort, with clean seawater and a seashore surrounded by green mountains. It is known as a fishing place all year long.
Excursions to nearby Cinque Terre National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, or to Portofino are very easy.
Since 2018 Deiva Marina municipality is a partner of the Pelagos Sanctuary for Mediterranean Marine Mammals. This implies a commitment to intensify the fight against any form of pollution, whether of maritime or land-based origin having or likely to have a direct or indirect impact on the marine mammal conservation status as well as to avoid any highspeed motorboat competition.
