Finale Ligure is a seaside town on the coast of Liguria in Italy, six miles NE of [[Loano]] and 13 miles SW of [[Savona]].  Situated on the slopes of a large limestone bluff known as the Rock of Caprazoppa. The town has an old centre with several attractive mediaeval buildings as well as several excellent white sand beaches.  The harbour, situated around a mile NE of the town itself, has been developed into a municipal marina with over 500 berths for yachts up to 17 metres.  The entrance here is, however, dangerous in strong onshore winds.

The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE seabreeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate.  While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E.  In winter, the ''tramontana'', a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the ''libecchio'' is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.
