Orientation: southwest (240°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Gregale (NE) or Levante (E), keeps it calm; the Libeccio (SW) or Ponente (W) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Sandy bottom: easy entry into the water, just take care when the sea is rough.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
