Let’s face it: during Summer, Rome can get really warm. You have many option to keep yourself cool, from the shades of the tree in the park to a delicious gelato. But when things get really hot you can just take a dive into the sea. Aside from the good old Tevere being the only water course through the city, there are many options for a fun and relaxing daytrip at the beach.
Ostia: the closest beach, can be reached in about 20 minutes by train. It's not the best sea in the area but no one really goes there to bathe... this is infact the place of choice for trendy people who want to lounge and have a drink on the sand, and sunbathe all day long.
Sabaudia: to reach this town you have to go 1 hour south. The water is beautiful and you can actually kill two birds with one stone, since the beach lies in between the sea and a lake. It is also the place where VIPs from Rome go to enjoy the sun. Last but not least, it is near by the natural reservation of Circeo. What more do you want?
Tarquinia: if you can’t manage to stay away from cultural stuff even when you lay on the white sand, Tarquinia is your choice. This time you have to go a bit north, but it’s worth it. This wonderful town holds an Etruscan necropolis where you can visit tombs of about 2,700 years old! And, of course, it’s close to the sea.
So what are you waiting for? Take your choice, and remember you can do each one of this in 1 day from Rome. In the end, if you really can’t make up your mind, just visit them all!
