When to go
The beach-day index peaks in June–September; July scores 9.6/10 with highs of 30 °C, sea at 25.0 °C and 17 mm of rain.
That matches the median for beaches in Italy in the same month.
Across the year the sea averages 19.0 °C, warmer than 53% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (101 mm) and July the driest (17 mm); the yearly total is about 670 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in December to 15.0 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 05:30 and sets at 20:15 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-west (215°). 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 August–April; in mid-December it goes down at 16:23 local time on a bearing of 240°.
Straight out to the south-west about 800 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build.
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 16 m deep and 31 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 3 m above sea level 500 m inland and 11 m at 1.5 km, a flat coastal plain.
Within 1 km, the land is 48% grassland, 36% built-up land and 5% tree cover (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 41% of that circle.
