A tiny fishing hamlet within the city, with colourful houses and a pebble beach.
For storytellers
Why Boccadasse matters
Boccadasse feels like a village that the city forgot. Brightly painted houses crowd around a small beach, and there are gelaterias and seafood restaurants nearby. Walk the seafront from the centre to reach it. Walk there along the seafront promenade and finish with a cone from one of the local gelaterias.
Talking points
- A fishing hamlet inside the city limits.
- Painted houses surround a tiny beach.
- Good for ice cream and sunset.
