Yes, this is an excellent family beach with sandy bottom, gently sloping entry, and generally calm conditions ideal for children. Many sections have lifeguards during summer months. The main town beach (Ponente) is particularly sheltered and shallow. Numerous stabilimenti (beach clubs) rent umbrellas and loungers with bathroom facilities and supervision. The urban setting means help and services are immediately available. Separate areas cater to different preferences—some sections are livelier while others remain quieter, allowing families to choose their preferred atmosphere.

June and September offer the best balance of warm weather, swimmable sea temperatures, and manageable crowds. July and August deliver peak summer conditions but also maximum crowds and highest prices—book accommodation months ahead for these months. May and early October appeal to budget travelers with lower rates, though the sea may be cool. Spring and autumn also showcase the medieval hilltop town without overwhelming tourist presence. Weekdays are quieter than weekends throughout the season. The town hosts various summer events and festivals worth timing your visit around.
