In the face of a mercury column that continues to the station around 40 degrees, many Romans decided on Sunday 29 June to seek refreshment by the sea.
Sunday at the sea
The “red sticker” planned was in fact also confirmed for the feast of San Pietro and Paolo. For the third consecutive day in the capital he lives with a wave of heat “with possible negative effects on the health of healthy and active people” warned the Capitol: therefore not only for children, the elderly, and subjects with chronic diseases. So better to pass the day, as many had already decided to do on Saturday 28, in one of the beaches of the coast.
The free beaches of Ostia
What is the situation that swimmers have found? Starting from Ostia there are three free beaches (the “Red” beach, the “Cotto e Ocher” beach, the “Senpe/Limone” beach) in the west area, which the Capitol manages with a municipal company. Six others, on the other hand, proceeding from the port towards the Lido, are managed by private operators who can rent deckchairs and sunbeds. Free but equipped beaches, therefore all with rescue and toilet service.
The plants of the coast
Those who have the opportunity to spend a few more euros focused on bathing establishments. The list of those regularly in operation is more complicated to draw up since for some of them in June, even in the last week, seals and suspension of the activity have arrived. The solidarity taken among the bathing entrepreneurs who have made available about 400 sun beds per day, does not contemplate the weekend. In the coming weeks, given the provisional award arrived last Thursday, six others open. For the moment, however, the offer is limited to about twenty reality.
The kiosks of Capocotta
Whoever pushed to Capocotta did not find bitter surprises. Most of the kiosks have already been assigned since last year unlike Ostia where, most of the calls have been made in 2025. Among the dunes, however, all the services that an equipped beach can guarantee, including the administration of food and drinks, a non -secondary appearance, can be enjoyed. The usual Vulnus remains given by the lack of parking spaces that feeds the business of illegal parking.
Castel Porziano without services
The capocotta situation is diametrically opposite compared to the one found in Castel Porziano. Those who also went these days to the “Romans beach” complained of inconveniences did not “have entered the sixth gate and to find a fountain in operation we had to push up to the fourth – Chiara complained, a bather – the kiosks are closed, the showers are not there. The water is clean, but there is not really no service”. The administration plans to activate them shortly. The call for the management of 5 lots (include all the gates) has been done and the latest date to receive offers is June 30th. In the meantime, in Castel Porziano, you go with thermal bags and umbrellas under arm ..
