Spiaggia libera Sant'Agostino

Spiaggia libera Sant'Agostino is a picturesque beach located in the Sant'Agostino district of Tarquinia, in the province of Viterbo, Italy. It is situated near the Salina di Tarquinia Nature Reserve, which is known for its diverse wildlife and ecosystems, including saltwater ponds, herons, and flamingos. This beach, stretching for two kilometers, showcases an extensive shoreline of fine golden sand set against a backdrop of dunes and Mediterranean vegetation. It is known for its clear, transparent water, and a seabed that is a mix of sand and rock, with seagrass meadows. The seabed remains shallow even about thirty meters from the shore, providing a sense of security for swimmers of all ages, and making it an ideal spot for children to explore the sea. Spiaggia libera Sant'Agostino offers both private bathing establishments and large free access areas, catering to the varying needs of its visitors. A small establishment on the beach also provides affordable amenities such as umbrellas, deckchairs, food, and drinks. However, cleanliness can sometimes be an issue, with reports of algae, dirt, and litter on occasion. The beach is most conveniently reached via private transportation, such as a car or motorcycle, as public transportation options are limited. The recommended route is to follow the road from Civitavecchia towards Grosseto, taking a left turn after a few kilometers. Upon arrival, visitors can choose between a large, free parking area and a paid parking option near the main beaches of Sant'Agostino. During the peak tourist season, particularly in August, Spiaggia libera Sant'Agostino attracts a substantial number of visitors. To enjoy a quieter and perhaps more authentic experience, visitors are advised to plan their visit during off-peak periods such as spring and early autumn.
