Beaches in Genoa
It seems that all schoolchildren know this ancient Italian city. But besides its famous sights, modern Genoa is also famous for its coastline. A large number of admirers of sunburn and bathing strive here. And these are not only Italians, but also visitors from abroad. It is true that Genoa has been a major port for the whole country since time immemorial; within the city there are so few clean places suitable for a serene rest..
Western beaches
Nevertheless, the beaches of Genoa receive tourists every year. One of the western beaches is in the Pegli area, the other is on the very edge of the city, in the remote Voltri area. This location
Eastern beaches
In the east of the city, beaches stretch along its main promenade. They are stony here, but in terms of infrastructure they are completely in line with all modern requirements. Behind the embankment, the chain of beaches continues. It stretches along the entire urban east coast. These are small and very secluded places, but they have gained popularity among the townspeople..
Country rocky beaches
The best rocky beaches are located outside the city limits. To the east of Genoa is the small town of Bogliasco. The local rocky beach is small, with a small but rather steep staircase going down to it. There is another beach nearby, larger in size, but also equipped with a free shower.
Another favorite destination for beach lovers is the town of Pieve Ligure, which is located just a few kilometers from Genoa. And here the beaches are quite rocky, but the water is so clean that it attracts swimmers. A large number of entertainment plays into the hands of local residents, as tourists here leave their savings accumulated over the year. Also of note are the beautiful beaches at Sori, Camogli and Recco, some of which are private. In addition to the beaches, there are many shops, restaurants and cafes..
Country sandy beaches
The beaches in Santa Margherita Ligure are in high demand. They are wide and covered with golden sand, with an amazing view of the beautiful mountains surrounding the city. There are a lot of tourists on these beaches during the summer months..
Also on the way from Santa Margherita Ligure to the world famous Portofino you can see many small and quite secluded beaches. In Portofino itself, surprisingly, there are no beaches, but this place, like nowhere else, you can feel the atmosphere of sophistication and elitism.
There are also beautiful beaches in Lavagna, Zoagli, Chiavari and Sestri Levante, but to get there from Genoa, you have to spend from 1 to 1.5 hours.
