Punta Pedale

Punta Pedale is a public beach located in the northeastern cove of Santa Margherita Ligure, a picturesque seaside town in the province of Genoa, Italy. The beach is nestled between two paid beaches, making it a unique spot for those seeking a serene and less crowded beach experience. The beach is known for its stony terrain, characterized by small pebbles, and the water is crystal clear, offering an unforgettable vacation experience. The beach provides numerous amenities to its visitors. There are sun beds and umbrellas available for rent, and a beach service is available. Additionally, visitors can enjoy on-site food and beverage services, with a bar and a restaurant providing refreshments and meals. However, visitors have noted issues regarding the cleanliness of the beach and its facilities, such as toilets and changing rooms. Punta Pedale is easily accessible via various modes of transportation. For those using public transport, there are urban and interurban bus lines that have a manageable schedule, with a bus stop conveniently located right at the beach. Those traveling by car can park in the vicinity, but it is advised to do so early in the morning due to limited parking slots. The beach is also accessible for those disembarking from a cruise ship in Portofino, with a short bus ride to the beach. For those traveling by car from further away, taking the Rapallo exit from A12/E80 and following the direction towards the sea is recommended.
