Learn to surf on the Tyrrhenian

Santa Marinella

Santa Marinella is on the Tyrrhenian north of Rome and the train from Termini stops beside the sea. You give the whole day to falling off a surfboard until the moment you do not.

How the day goes

  1. Off the train and onto the beach: the station is on the water, so there is nothing to arrange in between.
  2. Then the long middle of it — paddle, get up, go over, paddle back out and do it again.
  3. It is a full day, which is the point: there is time for it to start working.
  4. Back on the same line to Termini when you have had enough of the sea.

You need to swim and you will spend the day being knocked about by water — if you want the coast without the work, the boat days on the southern coast do it sitting down.

Where it is
