VENTIMIGLIA
IMPERIA
SAVONA
WITH SPECIAL REGARD TO BEAR & CHUBBY CHASERS
Salita Salvatore Viale 15rosso - phone: 010 588489 - closed on tue - Arcigay card required It's a big club with american bar, sauna, turkish bath and other classicals. From an SBQR friend: "the only sauna in Genova, where you can find everything". But he did not seem that much satisfied, unfortunately. Recently they added a Darkroom and Relax rooms. - Lucarino, Gladiator of Sbqr ci racconta "ho notato che il giovedì c'è molta gente ciccia tipo chub ed alcuni bear;a questo punto invito anche i cacciatori!"
La Cage
via Sampierdarena 176/rosso - phone: 010 6454555 Another american bar, with tv room and porn videos. Thematic nights, so you'd better call... Enter only with Arcigay card.
Cinema Gioiello
Via Balbi. - "Some boy-for-rent, many bears. The owners are gay, and this means... the cinema is gay-friendly" (thanks to Carlo)
Cinema Centrale
Via San Vincenzo 13/rosso Red light cinema where sometimes some gay movies are on show. But I don't know if that's a good thing, in the sense that real men go to see other movies... Decide for yourself :)
ARENZANO Discoteca L' Altranotte
It's a disco, nice but full only on saturdays, even in summertime. It's full of people of all kinds, also bears'n'stuff. Open to lesbian and to some selected non-gay friend.
Nudist beach, crowded and with many gays and a wood with some action. From Ventimiglia go to France, but not by highway... by "Via Aurelia"- After the second tunnel (area Capo Mortola) stop the car near an old GasPump. (there's nothing more around)- wallk the little street near the wall for 4 minutes... The beach is very wild and beautiful, international people, no bar, drinks or services. No confort. Crowded winter, summer, spring and autumn ! but in summer can be full of people (happy families too!) and then is better be discreet.
It's on the Aurelia road, from S.Bartolomeo towards Cervo, after one or two turns you'll see some abandoned houses (called "Case Rotte"). Leave the car there, go back by foot for 100 meters or so, you'll find a pinetree, from there a narrow slope, get to the railroad and then to the left. People do things close to the beach and along the railroad. All times you can find very nice local men... It's a must.
SPIAGGETTA-ZONA BARBAROSSA SAN LORENZO/IMPERIA (small beach)
to get to the beach from San Lorenzo take Aurelia road (SS1) to Imperia, after having crossed the railways bridge in "ponticelli area" stop your car in the two small parking lot besides the road turns. Get to the narrow path that crosses the railroad, it takes three minutes. Wild place, no sand, no comfort. Bring water and stuff, use strong shoes. It's better not to come here on july or august, too many families, or straight couples looking for fun. Friends tell us that here you're going to have fun...
Friends tell us: "After the station going towards Borghetto besides the railways you'll find some seats and woods in front of the sea.. there you can find something... some daddy... or young people.. bears..."
