💡 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.
