When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.7/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 24.5 °C and 8 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 19.2 °C, warmer than 56% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
October is the wettest month (78 mm) and July the driest (8 mm); the yearly total is about 590 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.6 hours in December to 14.8 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:59 and sets at 20:32 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces west-north-west (285°). Open water fills about 56% of the horizon close by, which makes it an exposed spot with water on most sides.
The sun sets over the sea in every month; in mid-June it goes down at 20:33 local time on a bearing of 301°.
Straight out to the west-north-west about 800 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 25,289 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 6 m deep and 7 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 5 m above sea level 500 m inland and 5 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 51% grassland, 27% cropland and 8% wetland (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a mixed, lightly developed setting. Water makes up 86% of that circle.
- Grass 51%
