About the beach
In the municipality of Genova, in the province of Genoa (Liguria), Spiaggia Capolungo is a pebble beach on the Ligurian Sea.
Orientation: south (189°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Tramontane (N) or Gregale (NE), keeps it calm; the Ostro (S) or Libeccio (SW) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
