Terracina is a classic Italian beach destination, prized for its expansive stretch of fine, golden sand and clear, shallow waters that have earned it both Blue Flag and Green Flag awards. This makes it an excellent choice for families and anyone seeking a quintessential sun-and-sea holiday. The town's long beach offers a mix of private clubs and free public areas, ensuring there is a spot for every type of visitor along its beautiful Tyrrhenian shoreline.
The main beach is conveniently divided by the port into two sections: Spiaggia di Levante to the east and Spiaggia di Ponente to the west, both offering a lively atmosphere right by the town. For those looking to explore, the region offers stunning variety. A short trip away is the iconic Spiaggia di Sperlonga, famous for its whitewashed village clinging to a hillside. For a more dramatic and secluded experience, the Beach 300 Steps rewards visitors with breathtaking scenery after a memorable descent. Meanwhile, Sabaudia provides a vast, natural escape defined by its protected sand dunes and a less commercial feel.
Beyond the immediate shoreline, Terracina delivers a rich and diverse coastal experience. Visitors can choose between the vibrant, well-equipped town beaches or seek out the wilder, more scenic coves dotted along the coast. With a fascinating historic old town perched on the hill above, the area offers more than just sand and sea.
