Not really a fan of Geneva. Very bland, boring city, even compared to Zurich.
That said, a coastal Geneva-type city might be Copenhagen (similar prosperity and cleanliness, at least, easy access to nature, but not as scenic surroundings).

Yes, Geneva can be quite boring given that almost everyone as some place outside to go, especially on weekends.
I mentioned cleaned, but I am not obsessed with it, I would rather prefer a nice beach.
It is an island in the south of Brazil.
A small city of half million of people but is the capital city of Santa Catarina State. So it has much infrastructure.
Although the pioneers colonizers were Portuguese families from Azores how all the state was colonized by Germans the city has heavy German influence. It is not like Switzerland or Geneva but has some characteristics you’re looking for.
Definitely Genoa although it's quite a bit hillier and its city center is larger. Naples could be another city but it isn't as clean or ordered as Geneva but more of a mess
Genoa doesn't really look or feel like Geneva. I don't think someone who favors Geneva would be happy in Genoa.
I have to say that the photo of Genoa (above in this post) does not inspire me too much, as it seems too big, with high buildings and too dense, but I never visited it, so maybe, I am wrong.

How about Helsinki? Not sure about sun/clouds but it does have an amazing coastline and pretty beaches. Super clean too, very green.
How about Montpellier,France? I also know that city from personal experience although small, it has excellent rail, it is a little ways from the sea, it has huge amounts of activity in the city center and it is barely one million in the entire Herault region. It although small has an exciting core with lots of activities. It like Geneva outshines most half a million metros and it has beautiful seaside towns nearby that you can explore.
