🇮🇹 Bogliasco, Genoa: Italy's Colorful Summer Escape 🏖️

Just 27 mins by train from Genoa city center lies this hidden beach paradise—where the water is so clear you can spot schools of fish right from the shore! 🌊 Beach Tips Watch your step! The entry has slippery, algae-covered rocks—wear water shoes (cheap at Decathlon!) to avoid cuts. Snorkeling = MUST. We regretted not bringing gear—fish are everywhere! 🐠 Italians just lay their towels, pop umbrellas (Pic 1), and dive in—chill like a local! 🏄 Activities Kayak rentals (near Pic 8 spot): €14/h for doubles (ID required). Pro tip: Take seasickness pills if prone to motion sickness—my friend had to swim back halfway! 😂 Beach chairs/umbrellas were sold out when we went—go early or... Buy a beach umbrella from vendors (~€15-20, cash only). 🚿 Facilities Free showers on the beach OR paid showers (€0.50) at rental shops. ☀️ Survival Notes SUNSCREEN IS NON-NEGOTIABLE (reef-safe, please!). Either claim a spot by 10 AM or embrace the umbrella life. #BeachLife #ItalianSummer #GlassSea #HiddenGems #GenoaTravel #SnorkelingParadise 🌞🐚
