About the beach
In the municipality of Cerveteri, in the province of Rome (Lazio), Zelio Beach is a sandy beach on the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Orientation: southwest (233°). 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. The seabed type is inferred from nearby beaches mapped on OpenStreetMap.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
