On June 15th 2024, in the stunning setting of Cala Loca beach, located in the heart of the Beigua Geo Park in Liguria, a day entirely dedicated to sustainability will take place.
The event, named “Cala Loca & Friends,” will offer a series of activities aimed at raising awareness and promoting eco-friendly practices. A Sustainable Certified Natural Paradise Cala Loca is a gem nestled among the serpentinite rocks typical of the area, offering visitors a unique beach experience focused on relaxation and sustainability. Thanks to its commitment to environmental protection and the adoption of eco-friendly practices, Cala Loca has received the prestigious Sustainable Beach certification from Friend of the Sea.
Friend of the Sea, a project of the World Sustainability Organization founded in 2008 by Paolo Bray, is now one of the leading global standards for products (both food and non-food) and services that respect and protect the ocean and its resources. The organization certifies beaches that, after passing an independent audit, meet the requirements of its certification scheme, including proper waste disposal, a ban on single-use plastics, and the safeguarding of natural habitats.
A Concrete Commitment to the Environment
The Cala Loca beach facility, immersed in the pristine nature of the UNESCO-listed Beigua Park, promotes management with the least possible environmental impact. Through separate waste collection and recycling, conscious energy consumption, and the choice of eco-friendly products, the impact on the ecosystem is minimized. Using fresh and seasonal ingredients enhances the local area and reduces the ecological footprint, while respecting local flora and fauna preserves the surrounding environment’s beauty. This commitment has been recognized under the Friend of the Sea’s Sustainable Beaches project.

The “Cala Loca & Friends” day will feature the participation of Nagua Swiss Sagl, a leading company in the marketing of ecological products for the nautical sector, also certified by Friend of the Sea. Nagua will present its philosophy and products at a dedicated desk, ranging from the nautical sector to cosmetics and eco-friendly sunscreens.
