What is the sea like in Marina di Alberese?

À Marina di Alberese1. , the sea is open to the Tyrrhenian: it can be clear and pleasant for swimming, but don't count on always transparent water like in a sheltered cove. The wind can make it choppy and cloud the water; near the mouth of theOmbrone2. , the river's sediments can also reduce visibility. The seabed is sandy and slopes down gradually in places, but check the conditions of the day if you come with young children.

The beach is long and natural, with driftwood and plant debris brought in by the waves: it is not a developed and raked beach. In summer, swimming is generally most pleasant, especially from July to September, but the weather and wind make the difference from one day to the next. There is little shade by the water, so plan something to protect yourself from the sun and wind. In short: you go there mainly for a large wild beach and a swim in a sea that can be very pleasant, with no guarantee of calm or crystal-clear water.
