Listening to the waves with your feet in the sand having a cold beverage is magic.”

While many visitors appreciate the lively atmosphere, some have pointed out the challenges of securing sunbeds and the costs associated with beach amenities, such as showers and towels.

We went there in the middle of september for the beach and it was really nice and comfortable and the water was perfect. But the sunbeds were pretty expensive (30€ for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella in the back rows). For this price, you still have to pay for the shower (0.2€ cold shower and 0.5€ hot shower) and to wait at the queue for some drinks. Overall it was a nice experience but more expensive than it should be for the services they offer.

Very busy, very packed, no privacy ... but that's nothing special at italian beaches. Sunbeds for 15€ at the entrance. You will receive a wristband, and tbh there is a guy who checks visitors on the beach to find people who avoid paying. Changing rooms, toilets , and bar with food. The shower for 20 cents is a little bit absurd. You need to have your towel with you or buy one from the guys at the promenade or from beach boys who will disturb you all the time.

I see many complaints about the food, but really, that pistachio shrimp pasta was amazing. Prices for food are average. To rent a spot for 2 persons, on the 3rd row was $35, a bit excessive but sort of expected for the area as it was packed in the middle of July. No showers, just toilets.

Great place to have drinks on the sand of an evening. Listening to the waves with your feet in the sand having a cold beverage is magic. Love it! Went three days in a row.
