When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.7/10 with highs of 25 °C, sea at 24.9 °C and 4 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 0.7 °C warmer than the Italy median for August (25.8 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 20.2 °C, warmer than 63% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (83 mm) and July the driest (4 mm); the yearly total is about 560 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.8 hours in December to 14.5 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 06:05 and sets at 20:26 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-south-west (195°). Open water fills about 44% of the horizon close by, which makes it an open stretch of shore.
The sun sets over the sea in October–March; in mid-December it goes down at 16:58 local time on a bearing of 242°.
Sunrise is over the sea in December–January.
Straight out to the south-south-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 20 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 38 m deep and 49 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 72 m above sea level 500 m inland and 0 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 88% grassland, 6% cropland and 4% bare ground, sand or rock (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 45% of that circle.
- Grass 88%
- Crop 6%
- Bare 4%
