The beach is long, sandy, and shallow, with private stabilimenti in summer and free stretches between them. It is calmer and more family-oriented than central Pescara, though still busy in July and August.
The best plan is simple: rent a lounger if you want service, or walk until you find a free patch of sand. Early morning and evening are the nicest times, when the heat drops and the line of the Gran Sasso and Majella is often visible inland.
