Bagni Lido

Bagni Lido is a proper beach resort sprawling across 6,000 square meters of sandy shoreline, fitted out with 340 umbrellas, deck chairs, and rental cabins — generous spacing by Genoa's notoriously packed Ligurian standards. You also get a pool with spectacular views as a backup when the sea isn't cooperating, plus a bar and friendly staff who actually seem happy to help. It's the kind of place you settle into for a full lazy day rather than just passing through.
