Genoa has several good beaches along its over 20 miles of coastline. The pebble beach at Boccadasse, a charming fishing village, is only a 15-minute drive from the city centre. Site of a 10th-century abbey, the beach at San Fruttuoso is famous with locals for its crystal-clear waters. A 40-minute drive away, the stone beach at Camogli is a popular summer spot, while its overlooking multi-coloured pastel houses make the perfect backdrop for your holiday photographs.
