Who it's for
Families; water that deepens gradually

At the foot of the village open two long beaches of sand: Ponente, towards Terracina, and Levante, which continues to the villa of Tiberius and the rocky coves on the way to Gaeta. There are free stretches and lidos with sun loungers and parasols. In July and August many people come from Rome at the weekend: go on a weekday or early. The rules for dogs change every summer according to the municipal ordinance: ask before you go.
