The cute seaside town of Santa Maria a Bagno offers some pretty swaths of sandy beach right in town. The little bay has a low reef interspersed with coves, so many people also choose to sun on the rock and jump in the water. In town, the seafront has several spots with sandy slips, both public access and sections with concessions that rent umbrellas and chairs.

The water is a crystal-clear aquamarine hue, transparent and shallow where the coves and beach are; it is deeper at the reef parts. The beaches are easily accessible, and the town provides services for your enjoyment (cafes, bars, gelato, restaurants).
