Arenzano is a small and rather exclusive resort just five miles W of Genoa.  It is a popular (if expensive) place for wealthier Genoans to chill out and there are a number of imposing villas and luxury apartment blocks in the town.  The small harbour, [[Arenzano Marina]] with a total of 185 berths, is similarly exclusive, although there is a small area allocated for yachts in transit.

==Weather==
The prevailing winds along the western part of the Ligurian coast during the summer are a SW or SE seabreeze, which rarely gets up much above force 4-5. Along the eastern part of the coast, the winds tend to come more from W or NW and are again usually little more than moderate.  While infrequent, gales are not unknown during the spring and early summer and are typically caused by depressions further west in the Golfe du Lion which bring strong N winds as they move further E.  In winter, the ''tramontana'', a strong N wind off the Alps, is more frequent, although the ''libecchio'' is a strong SW wind that can affect the whole of the Ligurian coast and blow for several days, causing heavy seas.
