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 July–August; July scores 9.5/10 with highs of 26 °C, sea at 23.8 °C and 26 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
At its warmest the water here is 1.1 °C cooler than the Italy median for August (25.8 °C).
Across the year the sea averages 18.2 °C, cooler than 57% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (132 mm) and July the driest (26 mm); the yearly total is about 740 mm.
Daylight runs from 8.9 hours in December to 15.4 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:58 and sets at 21:09 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-east (130°). Open water fills about 36% 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 August–April.
Straight out to the south-east about 1,200 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 18 m deep and 77 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 84 m above sea level 500 m inland and 108 m at 1.5 km, so the beach is backed by steep slopes or cliffs.
Within 1 km, the land is 50% tree cover, 26% built-up land and 16% shrubland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 39% of that circle.
- Tree 50%
- Built 26%
- Shrub 16%
- Grass 7%
