When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.5/10 with highs of 31 °C, sea at 24.2 °C and 28 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.8 °C cooler than the Italy median for August (25.8 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.5 °C, cooler than 53% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (111 mm) and July the driest (28 mm); the yearly total is about 730 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.0 hours in December to 15.4 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:50 and sets at 20:57 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west (259°). Open water fills about 17% of the horizon close by, which makes it a sheltered cove or bay.
The sun sets over the sea in March–April and August–October; in mid-March it goes down at 18:23 local time on a bearing of 267°.
The opposite shore is only about 500 m away to the west, which keeps the water sheltered from big waves.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 11 m deep and 29 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 22 m above sea level 500 m inland and 43 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 60% built-up land, 23% tree cover and 14% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 12% of that circle.
- Built 60%
- Tree 23%
- Grass 14%
