Long-term monthly averages: air from NASA POWER (2001–2020), sea from NOAA OISST (1991–2020); records are the extremes of 2001–2020. How the index works.
When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.6/10 with highs of 29 °C, sea at 24.5 °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 0.5 °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 south (175°). 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 November–February; in mid-December it goes down at 16:46 local time on a bearing of 238°.
Sunrise is over the sea in October–February.
Straight out to the south about 500 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 225 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 67 m deep and 75 m at 3 km, so deep water starts close to shore. Behind the beach the ground is about 138 m above sea level 500 m inland and 460 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 60% shrubland, 17% tree cover and 15% grassland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a largely natural setting. Water makes up 41% of that circle.
