Mulinetti is the small beach in the cove just south of Recco's centre, the best of the local swimming spots and a pleasant five-minute walk from the railway station. The beach is partly free, partly run as a paid bagno with sun-loungers and umbrellas; the water is generally clear and the bay protected enough that the sea is calm even on windy days.
Above the beach, a short footpath climbs the cliff and joins the longer Recco-to-Camogli coastal trail. There's a small bar at the southern end of the beach, useful for an afternoon spritz before walking back into town for dinner.
