Italy Arenzano
Discover Arenzano: A Charming Ligurian Escape
Arenzano is a delightful coastal town on the Ligurian Riviera, just west of Genoa, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and relaxed Italian charm. It's an ideal spot for tourists looking for a quieter, authentic experience away from the bustling crowds.
In particular for this shot I ventured to the first rocks just after the Arenzano marina.
Before that there is also a fantastic natural arch that can also be photographed quite easily.

Photography Tips
The rocks of Arenzano do not allow easy use of tripods, so for this spot I did not use long exposures or tripod. Everything was done freehand. Different instead for the arch, where it is possible to use the tripod.
For me there are different points of view both before and after the marina, it is all at the discretion of the photographer
