Molo Cantarena is a bathing water area in Arenzano, Liguria, featuring a predominantly shingle beach. The area is directly affected by the presence of Arenzano port to the south. It is classified as an excellent bathing water location based on 2008-2011 monitoring data. The Ligurian Sea is not characterized by cyanobacterial blooms due to its predominantly oligotrophic conditions, and there have been no cases of potentially toxic algal strain proliferation.
