When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.6/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 24.4 °C and 23 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.6 °C cooler than the Italy median for August (25.8 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.7 °C, cooler than 51% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (104 mm) and July the driest (23 mm); the yearly total is about 670 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.1 hours in December to 15.3 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:53 and sets at 20:56 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces north-west (325°). Open water fills about 28% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in April–September; in mid-June it goes down at 20:58 local time on a bearing of 304°.
Straight out to the north-west the next coast is roughly 200 km away, so waves are mostly wind-driven sea rather than ocean swell. The beach is on an island of about 225 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 38 m deep and 79 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 24 m above sea level 500 m inland and 139 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 58% tree cover, 21% shrubland and 12% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 44% of that circle.
- Tree 58%
- Shrub 21%
- Built 12%
