- Use the coastal cycling path that connects the harbor area to the center of Terracina.
- Ferries to the Pontine Islands (Ponza) often leave from the main Terracina port nearby; book ahead in summer.

Porto Badino is a delightful seaside community situated along the renowned Riviera di Ulisse in the Lazio region of Italy, just a short distance from the historic city of Terracina. Centered around a pretty canal harbor where the Portatore river meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, this area is characterized by its relaxed maritime vibe, bobbing fishing boats, and easygoing lifestyle. It features a first-rate blend of natural coastal beauty and the lively culture of southern Lazio. The coastline stretching outwards from the harbor is blessed with fine, golden sands and inviting Mediterranean waters. Among the highlights are the beaches near Il Campanile, known for their scenic beauty and clear seas. Specifically, the equipped beach club of Lido di Ulisse Al Campanile provides excellent amenities, including sun loungers, umbrellas, and waterfront dining, making it a highly sought-after spot for families and couples looking to relax under the Italian sun. Gastronomy plays a central role in the Porto Badino experience, with local restaurants offering incredibly fresh seafood straight from the returning boats. The nearby historical center of Terracina, with its ancient Roman Temple of Jupiter Anxur overlooking the coast, provides excellent cultural excursions just minutes away.
