Genoa's top 5 beaches according to tourists (reviews and map)

A warm welcome to my girlfriend and me

Not bad. During the season, there are fewer people here compared to other beaches. However, the water isn't particularly clean.

The food is of good quality and reasonably priced. The location is superb, offering a fantastic view of Bogliasco and the beach. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, especially towards children. There are some mosquitos, but the staff provides candles to keep them at bay.

This place is absolutely terrible. The only redeeming quality is the amazing view. The service is atrocious, the manager is rude and unhelpful, the food is mediocre at best, and the prices are exorbitant. I will never return, and I strongly advise you to avoid this place if you don't want your evening ruined. My seven friends and I dined here for a hen do party on a Saturday night. We booked 15 days in advance and chose a standard menu proposed by the owner. We were seated at 8:45 PM. The first starter, a tasteless seafood salad, was served at 9:30 PM. The seafood pasta arrived at 10:30 PM, and it tasted overwhelmingly of garlic—seriously, nothing but garlic. None of us could finish it. The mixed fried dish was finally served at 11:50 PM after we complained twice. The manager was extremely rude, claiming they were busy and we had to wait. She didn't apologize even once. The squid was good, but we were charged 50 euros each for subpar food that we couldn't even finish after waiting the entire evening and being ignored by the staff. A suggestion for the manager: if you had just apologized, you could have salvaged the evening!

The beach is primarily composed of large grey pebbles and pieces of driftwood. Unfortunately, some areas are littered, including discarded face masks. If you plan to visit, be sure to bring something padded to sit or lie on, as it’s essential. Beach shoes or flip-flops are also highly recommended. There is a small body of water that leads out to the wider sea. While the water near the beach is calm, standing is challenging due to the medium to very large, slippery stones. Close to the shore, we encountered a lot of small rubbish and floating plastics, which was unpleasant. The best experience was swimming beyond the rocks, where the surface rubbish cleared and the sea floor returned to sand. The cove itself is charming and picturesque, with a fantastic gelato shop and some eateries. Overall, I probably wouldn’t recommend this beach and would look for a cleaner option next time.

This petite beach boasts a picturesque panorama that surrounds it. However, the jagged rocks that line the shore caused discomfort to my feet.
