Lunch and dinner
facing the sea

The kitchen works with the daily catch: seafood starters, first courses made to order, grilled mains. At lunch also salads, sandwiches and fried bites; in the evening the menu grows and the pizza oven stays on until late.

The tables are on the sand, a few metres from the shore.

Beach club

Sunbeds, umbrellas
and beach huts

Well-spaced spots, wider than the average on this coast. Double sunbeds, deckchairs, huts for your things, hot showers and facilities.

The beach isn’t bookable: you arrive, choose a free spot and pay at the desk. Students pay €8 for each single item.

How long it takes

The closest sea
to the centre of Rome

Lido di Ostia is Rome’s own seaside: half an hour from the centre, and you can get here by train without a car.

Parcheggio lungo il lungomare, pista ciclabile davanti all’ingresso e rastrelliere all’entrata.

Before you come

Questions we get asked most

How much does a day at the beach cost?

It depends on what you choose and which day. The full price list is on the beach page.

Are sunbeds and umbrellas bookable?

No: you arrive, pick a free spot and pay at the desk. Beach access is free. On August weekends it’s worth arriving early, as spots run out.

What’s the difference between a sunbed, a double sunbed and a deckchair?

A sunbed is the classic single reclining bed. A double sunbed is twice as wide, made for two people or for anyone who wants more room. A deckchair is lighter and easy to move. All three can be hired by the day or by season.

How does lunch work? Is there takeaway?

Yes. From 1pm the restaurant serves at the table facing the sea. Otherwise you can order takeaway and collect it at the counter.

What are the kitchen hours?

Breakfast at the bar from 9. Lunch from 12am. Aperitivo from 6pm. In the evening we are restaurant and pizzeria, with the kitchen open until late.

In the evening, are you a restaurant or a pizzeria?

Both. In the evening you can have dinner à la carte — daily specials based on the catch, salads, mains — or a thin Roman pizza, with the oven on until late. Eat at a table facing the sea or order takeaway. At weekends it’s better to book.

Can I come only for aperitivo or dinner, without spending the day on the beach?

Of course. Aperitivo, restaurant and pizzeria are open to everyone — you don’t need to have hired anything.

How do I get to Marechiaro from Rome?

Take the Roma–Lido train from Piramide to Lido Centro, then it’s a five minute walk towards the sea. The ticket is a standard Rome public transport ticket. By car, take Via del Mare or Via Cristoforo Colombo to Lungomare Toscanelli, where you’ll find parking.

Is it a good day trip from Rome?

It’s the closest sea to the city and you can do it without a car. Many people pair it with the Roman ruins of Ostia Antica, ten minutes away: ruins in the morning, beach and lunch in the afternoon.

Are there seasonal passes?

Yes, monthly and seasonal, with the option of adding a beach hut. Places are limited and assigned in order of request — conditions are on the beach page.
