Marina di San Nicola beach

Marina di San Nicola is a beach with dark sand in the northern suburbs of Rome, Italy. It is rather mediocre, but at least there are relatively not many visitors even during the peak season. As everywhere in Lazio, the coast has a long beach facing the open sea, as well as few artificial bays protected from waves by the breakwaters. The great castle of Palo Laziale can be seen to the west, while the notable hospital of Ospedale Bambin Gesu is to the east. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
