Receding Waves in Cogoleto


The waves receding back into the sea in Cogoleto sound different compared to any other that I have heard before.  Like pachinko balls clinking together after winning a small pot.  Or several marbles colliding.  The sound made when you're when sipping out the last bit of soda.

The source of this sound:  the stones.  The beaches here are made of pebbles.  If you find any sand, it’s been imported. 

So when you visit Cogoleto, listen to the sound of the water rushing over the stones.  You're in for an auditory adventure.
