When to go
The beach-day index peaks in July–August; July scores 9.8/10 with highs of 27 °C, sea at 24.5 °C and 5 mm of rain.
In July that is 0.3 points above the median of the 925 beaches in Italy covered by this atlas.
Across the year the sea averages 19.0 °C, warmer than 52% of the coastal beaches in the atlas.
November is the wettest month (72 mm) and July the driest (5 mm); the yearly total is about 420 mm.
Daylight runs from 9.4 hours in December to 14.9 hours in June; in mid-July the sun rises at 06:07 and sets at 20:47 local time.
Orientation, sun and shore
The shore faces south-east (135°). Open water fills about 44% 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 240° to 301°, behind the land.
Sunrise is over the sea in every month.
Straight out to the south-east about 1,200 km of open sea lies before the next coast, enough for large swells to build. The beach is on an island of about 24,560 km².
About 1 km offshore the sea is roughly 15 m deep and 36 m at 3 km. Behind the beach the ground is about 13 m above sea level 500 m inland and 71 m at 1.5 km.
Within 1 km, the land is 36% grassland, 33% tree cover and 22% built-up land (satellite land-cover map, 2021): a partly built-up setting. Water makes up 49% of that circle.
- Grass 36%
- Tree 33%
- Built 22%
- Bare 5%
- Shrub 4%
