💡 Tips

- Rent a car or use a taxi to get around; public transport links to Rome and nearby areas are quite limited.

- 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.
