Cipressa gives its name to one of two climbs that feature in the final kilometers of the prestigious Milan–Sanremo cycling race. Known as The Cipressa, the climb was added in 1982 to toughen the route before the final climb of The Poggio. The climb starts by the Mediterranean Sea at San Lorenzo al Mare, climbing to Cipressa by the via Cipressa, via Provinciale and the via Matteotti. The bell tower of Cipressa's church marks the end of the climb, and has become a notable landmark in cycling.
