Boccadasse​

The tiny bay of Boccadasse lies six kilometres east of the centre of Genoa on the Riviera di Levante.

Characterised by its brightly-coloured houses and shingle beach, it's a popular spot at the weekends and throughout the summer where locals and tourists alike come to sunbathe, eat and drink. A walk along seaside path Lungomare Corso Italia is one of the best ways to get here as you pass more great scenery along the way.
