💡 Tips

  • The beach here is sandy and gently sloping, making it well-suited for families; look for free beach areas (spiaggia libera) between the serviced lidos.
  • Rent a bicycle to explore the "Corridoio Verde Adriatico", a long coastal cycle path passing right through the town.
  • Parking near the seafront can be tough on August weekends, so try parking further inland and walking.
  • Most local shops and services close for a few hours in the early afternoon, so plan your errands for the morning or late afternoon.
