Plage de Rondinara
The road drops you onto white sand so fine it squeaks underfoot, facing a crescent of water so still it mirrors the sky. Two rocky promontories embrace the bay like parentheses, holding back the open sea.

Questions people actually ask about Plage de Rondinara.
Is swimming safe at Plage de Rondinara with children?
Plage de Rondinara is exceptionally safe for swimming and ideal for families with children. The protected crescent bay creates naturally calm, shallow waters perfect for young swimmers. The gradual sandy entry allows children to wade safely, and the sheltered position shields the beach from strong currents and waves. The turquoise waters are typically crystal-clear, making supervision easier. However, no beach is risk-free—always watch children closely. During peak season, the beach can get crowded but remains safe. Lifeguards may be present in summer months, though services vary.
What is the best time of year to visit Plage de Rondinara?
The best weather at Plage de Rondinara occurs from June through September, with July and August offering warmest water temperatures and guaranteed sunshine. However, these peak months bring significant crowds to this famous beach. For the best balance of good weather and manageable visitor numbers, consider late May, early June, or September. The water remains swimmable, temperatures are pleasant, and you'll have more space to enjoy the stunning crescent bay. Early morning visits during peak season also help you experience the beach's beauty before crowds arrive.
