The dock of Alassio is always full of tourists, couples looking for a romantic spot from which admire the sea, or you can even find some elderly people fishing.
The dock is a summer meeting point for many young tourists, especially during the summer.
A very known trend for people is the one to jump directly in the sea, exactly from this place.
Here, you can find the translated version of an incredible news, dated 04/07/2008 from www.lvg.it:
"They have jumped in the sea from the dock of Alassio. A resolution from the city hall forbids to dive in that water spot. Two boys have been heartlessly fined from the police officers. Two thousand euros for each one. It is very likely that is it going to be the parents, who will have to pay this expense, but surely it is going to be a (second) cold bath for the young boys".
