💡 Tips

  • As Focene is right next to the Fiumicino runway, you can enjoy some spectacular plane spotting directly from the beach.
  • Rent a car or use a taxi to get around; public transport links to Rome and nearby areas are quite limited.
  • Visit the WWF Macchiagrande Oasis to explore protected sand dunes and original Mediterranean scrubland.
  • If you are into kitesurfing, head to the northern part of the beach where the wind conditions are most consistent.
  • Visit in May or September to enjoy the beach clubs (stabilimenti) without the heavy weekend crowds from Rome.
