The bay of Bagni Europa, being only a few kilometres, as the crow flies (or the fish swims!) from the port looks the part of the riviera beach as well as being easily reached from the centre inonly a few minutes, even by public transport. The beach is surrounded by beach huts, each with a balcony, table and a view of the sea. 
The Lido is a primary summer destination for locals of Genoa, located along the coastal area of the city, it can be easily reached during the lunch hour and it is popular both for its gym and its pool which is great for kids with its many slides. This is a large establishment and the changing huts are spread over two floors, some with a sort of veranda with plenty of tables and chairs making it real home from home by the sea, for many locals. There is of course also a bar and pizzeria.
Entire Genoese familes spend the summer months in the town of Ponente (Cogobeach), taking advantage of its vicinity to the city which enables parents to reach their workplace in little more than half an hour. The Bagni Marinella, at Cogoleto, have become an institution. This bathing establishment is in a very central location and has more than ten years of experience. Additions are always being made, such as the recent children's swimming pool and the floating island. It has a bar, which serves drinks and snacks, and hires out pedalos. It is open from mid-May to mid-September.
The Bagni Pippo are married (as are the respective owners) with the Bagni Mauro, and share the same area of sandy and pebbly beach as well as the rave sport - this game involves a floating buoy placed in the open sea off these two bathing establishments on the border between Cogoleto and Varazze. There is a bar which serves drinks and snacks, and you can also hire pedalos and canoes here. It is open from May to September.
Bagni Doria in Quarto, with its white and green umbrellas occupies the pebbled beach of a small gulf which can be seen from the coastal road to the east of Genoa. This bar cum restaurant is not far from the city centre.
The area of Quarto is better known as Quarto dei Mille because it was from here that Garibaldi left on his expedition to the south. Today there is an imposing statue to record the event giving the name of Monumento to the area between the train station of Quarto and the sea as well as the bathing establishment, with its bar and restaurant at its feet. As with all beaches to the east of Genoa, it is located between the sea and the coastal road, which can be reached by a small stairwell.
Medusa, on the Nerva promenade, is just like a balcony over the sea with a trattoria and pizzeria in the winter and a bathing centre in the summer with a curious, natural, tidal swimming pool which is a small basin formed out of rock jutting straight out of the sea.
Bagni Stella, with their 85 beach huts and 300 sunbeds are a real point of reference for the summer tourist trade. The establishment with its yellow-green colours has a bar where the owner Rino sells excellent rolls and hot food. When the sea is calm you can hire rowing boats and pedalos
