When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–August; July scores 9.0/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 25.3 °C and 66 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.5 points below the median of the 925 beaches in Italy covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 17.1 °C, cooler than 63% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (105 mm) and January the driest (53 mm); the yearly total is about 940 mm.
Daylight runs from 8.8 hours in December to 15.6 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:35 and sets at 20:56 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east-south-east (115°). Open water fills about 44% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
At no time of year does the sun set over the sea here: sunset bearings run from 237° to 305°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the east-south-east the next coast is roughly 200 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 4 m deep and 10 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 0 m above sea level 500 m inland and 0 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 38% built-up land, 36% grassland and 19% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 69% of that circle.
