Fiumicino

A day out in Fiumicino

The nearest coast to Rome, and the wind that makes it worth the half hour.

10 days outthe nearest is a 33 min drive from Rome

Fregene, Focene and Maccarese are the beaches Rome actually uses, and the reason to book something here rather than just lie on one is the wind: the cross-shore breeze that comes up most afternoons is what makes this the kitesurfing coast.

Behind the dunes there is the Roman port of Claudius and Trajan, a hexagonal basin still visible from the air, and the salt marsh reserve where the horses are.
