💡 Tips
- The 'Pista Ciclabile' cycle path runs right through town; rent a bike to explore the coastline completely car-free.
- Summer weekends get extremely crowded, so be sure to book your beach loungers (lettini) well in advance.
- Parking near the promenade is mostly paid (blue lines), check the outer lots if you are looking for free spots.
- The local beach has fine sand and a very gradual drop-off, making it excellent for families with children.
