About

Spiaggia San Fruttuoso is located on the Ligurian Sea (part of Mediterranean Sea) and it is in the 12th place out of 76 beaches in the Genoa region 21.7 km away from its center, the city of Genoa. It is one of the beaches of San Fruttuoso di Camogli settlement, just 0.1 km from its center. The beach is located in a natural place with very picturesque views, among the mountains. It is partially covered by trees which give natural shade.

It is a tiny bay with crystal blue water and brown fine pebble, so you don't need special shoes. The sharpness of entering the water is quite normal. This beach is suitable for different categories of people, lonely travellers, relaxation getaway lovers etc. It is not crowded place during the season.

Despite the fact that a significant part of the beach is occupied by resorts, there is still a fairly large area with free access. The beach facilities are only available to visitors of resort area. Their list includes, loungers and umbrellas, beach restaurant, changing rooms, showers, toilets. During the season this beach line is supervised by a lifeguard.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, you can also take part in other activities.

14 more beaches are also available within a 5 km radius. The best one is Spiaggia di Paraggi, which has a rating of 8.7.

Spiaggia San Fruttuoso (Genoa) region (French Riviera sub-region) is located outside the San Fruttuoso di Camogli settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast, but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

It's funny how some of the negative reviews here complain about the crowds! The beach is absolutely stunning and compared to the more popular spots like Portofino and Santa Margherita, it's actually quite secluded. Clearly, everyone had the same idea to come here for the summer! If you're not a fan of crowds, I suggest arriving early by ferry or staying late and waiting for the last ferry at 5:30pm/6:30pm during the summer. We decided to rent 2 sunbeds for 2 hours at €25, which was definitely worth it if you don't want to carry too many things. However, there's also the option to set up your own spot for free at the public area (which still had plenty of space, especially considering it was a Saturday). I highly recommend this beach to anyone looking for a more peaceful alternative away from the main islands.

We decided to go for a hike from San Rocco early in the morning to avoid the heat and the crowds of tourists. Unfortunately, there seems to be a constant influx of thousands of tourists being brought in. A packed boat arrives every thirty minutes. The beach, which can accommodate maybe 50 people, is mostly filled with expensive sunbeds priced at 80€ (!!!!!!!). There's hardly any space left for regular visitors like us. We ended up taking the first ferry out of here. It's a shame that nobody informs you about this situation, and they continue selling ferry tickets to bring in even more people. It's a beautiful place, but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.

When I first came across this beach in Hollywood movies and Indian Bollywood films, I realized it was an amazing spot to have a delightful vacation or capture some memorable movie scenes.

The beach is beautiful, but it gets very crowded during the peak season. It can only be reached by boats that operate hourly until 6:00 pm.

The beach and water are stunning. However, if it gets crowded, it's best to arrive early and book sun beds and restaurants in advance.
