Marcellina Beach
The fragrance reaches you before you see the water: bergamot and citron from the orchards that made this coast famous. Marcellina operates on local time, where beach umbrellas belong to the same families every summer and lunch means going home, not ordering from a beach club menu.

The beach slopes gradually into the sea, making it suitable for younger swimmers. During summer months, lifeguard services may be available at certain sections. Always check local conditions and posted flags before entering the water, as currents can occasionally strengthen during adverse weather. The family-friendly nature of this beach makes it a popular choice for local residents.
