Unless you're into seaweed, swim to the other side of the beach. Also, it's shallower than your ex-boyfriend, but still nice to swim in. Plus, there's a nice (free) rinse-off shower.

Itty bitty rocks, and nothing blocking out the sun. It's a small beach, though, so it's crowded.
Number 1: Varigotti (See below)

It's a long train ride, but you're a big kid. It's worth it.

The water is either clear or wavy - it's clean and fun.

Just bring something to lay on and your sunblock. Plenty of space and sun for all.
Theres a free beach just down from Fiera di Genova on via mario capello. They also dock boats there, so occasionally you have to make way. Its nice and sandy, mostly. Lots of kids and families. Waves usually not too strong. And close to downtown, city center, etc.
