The town is characterized by an exceptionally wide, gently sloping sandy beach, making it particularly attractive for families with young children. The crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean invite visitors for endless swimming days. Beach life pulses around the numerous well-equipped lidos. Some of the most popular include Mela Godo, La Loggia, Lido Gazebo, Lido Nettuno, and Lido Monnalisa Beach.
