When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–August; July scores 8.9/10 with highs of 28 °C, sea at 25.1 °C and 83 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.6 points below the median of the 925 beaches in Italy covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 17.2 °C, cooler than 63% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (119 mm) and January the driest (60 mm); the yearly total is about 1,070 mm.
Daylight runs from 8.7 hours in December to 15.7 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:32 and sets at 20:55 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-east (140°). Open water fills about 42% 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 237° to 305°, 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 4 m deep and 11 m at 3 km, a shallow, gently shelving sea floor. Behind the beach the ground is about 0 m above sea level 500 m inland and 0 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 62% built-up land, 14% grassland and 13% bare ground, sand or rock (satellite land-cover map, 2021): an urban beach. Water makes up 53% of that circle.
