It is a lovely postcard picturesque village! Beautiful sunny and cool day made it a pleasant visit. You can also stroll along the Anita Garibaldi promenade just next to the church. Plenty of photo opportunities here, as what you see on the web and postcards. Worth the trip! Easy to get there...its a short trip by bus 42 from Dante 2, near Ferraria fountain.

The town itself is centred around a small picturesque inlet , with brilliant views of the Gulf of Genoa. Although the pebble beach was small and fairly busy, it felt like there was plenty of space to sit on the beach. Around the inlet are dotted various bars and restaurants , all with outside seating space. The bars will also serve you a beer in a plastic cup if you want to explore the town with a drink in hand. It took us 20 minutes to reach Boccadasse on the bus from outside Genoa Brignole station, at a cost of €2 each way. Purchasing tickets for the bus can be confusing but there are a few newsagents outside the main station which sell tickets. The bus stop for Boccadasse is adjacent to the main village. I would fully recommend a visit here if you are in the Genoa area.

Out the cruise ship and we got a taxi to this location. Taxi was very friendly and gave us his number so we could call him to drive us back to the cruise. Amazing small beach with clear water. Better get there earlier so it is empty. After 12.00 it was very full and no places to sit anymore. We had a local espresso and fresh pizza from a small place at the beach. There are some restaurants around, ice cream shop and a beautiful church. All worth a visit! It is difficult to find a taxi. Better to arrange pick up before going.
