The sand stretches wider here than at the neighboring lidos, giving you room to stake out your square of shore even in August. Children wade out a dozen meters before the water reaches their waists, and the shallow gradient means the Adriatic warms early in the season. Behind the beach clubs, low-rise apartments and holiday villas fan out in neat blocks, pine-shaded streets connecting rental agencies, gelaterias, and supermarkets stocked with beach toys.

You'll spend mornings under the canvas canopies of stabilimenti, where attendants rake the sand at dawn and drag out the loungers before breakfast. The clubs serve espresso and tramezzini at rickety beachside bars, and by noon the scent of fritto misto drifts from the kitchens. Between swims, you'll hear the slap of racchettoni paddles and the hum of inflatable toys being pumped up for the afternoon.
Evening empties the sand but fills the promenade. You'll pass families on bicycles, vendors selling porchetta sandwiches from lit carts, and open-air restaurants where tablecloths snap in the sea breeze. The holiday-village rhythm here is predictable, comforting, built for repetition—same umbrella, same neighbors, same view of fishing boats crossing the horizon at dusk.
