They do not have the Blue Flag and they have an environmental history that booking portals do not tell: the former Stoppani plant.

The bed is stones and pebbles: bring rock shoes if you have children or tender feet. Here and there stretches of fine sand appear, but it is not a sandy beach.<\/p>\n<p>There is more than one bathing establishment, with paid sunshades and loungers. We give no names, because booking portals list lidos whose management and status are uncertain: if you want to book, ask directly. For free beaches, the portals mention those near the centre, such as the former Cantieri Bianchi e Cecchi, the Pescatori and San Sebastiano. These are names reported by commercial guides, with no official confirmation from the municipality, which does not publish a page on the beaches. Look for the signs on site.<\/p>\n<h2>The Stoppani clean-up<\/h2>\n<p>A few kilometres from the sea, in the Lerone valley, the Luigi Stoppani chemical plant (chromium) worked for about a century. It closed in 2003, went bankrupt in 2007, and the area became a site of national interest. Clean-up work began on 1 December 2008. To understand what it means for swimmers, keep four facts in mind, all from the Metropolitan City of Genoa.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>About 66,000 tonnes of chromium &#8220;crusts&#8221; were removed from the beaches of Cogoleto and Arenzano, digging down to 5 metres; the beaches were then rebuilt with clean material and new groynes.<\/li>\n<li>A short stretch right next to the mouth of the Lerone remains excluded, where contamination goes deeper than 9 metres. The area is off limits.<\/li>\n<li>A 250-metre concrete barrier protects the Pian Masino landfill towards the Lerone.<\/li>\n<li>In June 2024 a Council of Ministers measure appointed a special commissioner, with funding for 2024-2026. The state of the works in October 2026 is not confirmed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Monitoring is done with mussels and by Arpal. We do not say the sea is &#8220;safe&#8221; or &#8220;unsafe&#8221;: the right source is the bathing bulletin. For 2026 no bans appear, but we have not read the official data for Cogoleto, so always check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arpal.liguria.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arpal<\/a> site on the day, and respect signs and municipal ordinances.<\/p>\n<h2>Blue Flag and the neighbours<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/la-costa-di-cogoleto-vista-dal-mare-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-61655\" alt=\"La costa di Cogoleto vista dal mare\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/la-costa-di-cogoleto-vista-dal-mare-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/la-costa-di-cogoleto-vista-dal-mare-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/la-costa-di-cogoleto-vista-dal-mare-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/la-costa-di-cogoleto-vista-dal-mare-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/la-costa-di-cogoleto-vista-dal-mare.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The 2026 list from the Foundation for Environmental Education rewards 35 Ligurian places. In the Genoa area they are Camogli, Chiavari, Lavagna, Moneglia, Recco, Santa Margherita Ligure, Sestri Levante and Sori. Cogoleto and <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/en\/riviera-di-ponente\/arenzano\/\">Arenzano<\/a> are not on it; the nearest is <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/en\/riviera-di-ponente\/varazze\/\">Varazze<\/a>, in the province of Savona. The lack of a flag says nothing about the water quality on a single day, which depends on sampling.<\/p>\n<p>If you want more services, Arenzano has a little harbour and Varazze has the flag. Cogoleto is chosen for the station close to the sea and for the cycle path, which starts at the beach.<\/p>\n<h2>Snorkelling, coves and other ideas<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/il-lungomare-di-cogoleto-sugli-scogli-1024x678.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-61648\" alt=\"Il lungomare di Cogoleto sugli scogli\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/il-lungomare-di-cogoleto-sugli-scogli-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/il-lungomare-di-cogoleto-sugli-scogli-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/il-lungomare-di-cogoleto-sugli-scogli-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/il-lungomare-di-cogoleto-sugli-scogli-1536x1017.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/il-lungomare-di-cogoleto-sugli-scogli.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Along the seafront, among the rocks, there are coves where you enter the water from the rocks. West of the centre the seabed has Posidonia meadows, a protected habitat: look without touching and do not anchor. The Beigua Park organises educational snorkelling outings with marine biologists, but we do not have the 2026 dates: check the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcobeigua.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Park website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Off this stretch of coast lies the wreck of the tanker Haven, sunk on 14 April 1991 at about 80 metres depth. It is a technical dive for experienced divers, with several fatal accidents behind it: it is not for snorkellers. For dogs on the beach we have no confirmed ordinances: ask the municipality.<\/p>\n<p>The Molo Speca is the spot from which people watch the fireworks of 10 August, the feast of San Lorenzo.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting there and where to leave the car<\/h2>\n<p>Cogoleto station is a few steps from the sea and the centre, and it is the most convenient choice. By car, A10, Arenzano exit (about 2 kilometres) or Varazze (about 4), then the Via Aurelia. Paid parking, especially in summer, near the sea and in the inner streets; fares and spaces are not confirmed. For full logistics see the <a href=\"https:\/\/italian-riviera.com\/en\/riviera-di-ponente\/cogoleto\/\">guide to Cogoleto<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about the beaches of Cogoleto<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Are the beaches of Cogoleto sandy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, they are mostly stones, gravel and pebbles, with stretches of fine sand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does Cogoleto have the 2026 Blue Flag?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. In the Genoa area Camogli, Chiavari, Lavagna, Moneglia, Recco, Santa Margherita, Sestri Levante and Sori have it; Varazze, in the Savona area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you swim in Cogoleto?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2026 we found no bans, but the bulletin of the day is what counts: check Arpal.
