When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.4/10 with highs of 26 °C, sea at 24.9 °C and 38 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 17.8 °C, cooler than 59% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (110 mm) and July the driest (38 mm); the yearly total is about 900 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.0 hours in December to 15.4 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:37 and sets at 20:45 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces east (90°). Open water fills about 42% 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 238° to 304°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the east the next coast is roughly 120 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 6 m deep and 12 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 44 m above sea level 500 m inland and 65 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 31% tree cover, 31% built-up land and 16% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 43% of that circle.
- Tree 31%
- Built 31%
- Grass 16%
- Crop 15%
- Bare 5%
