Name: The beach is truly remarkable, provided that the water is free of seaweed, jellyfish, and plastic. Fortunately, the situation has improved significantly, thanks to the hard work of the dedicated staff. I visited Spiaggia Libera 1 today, but it was an utter disappointment. I recommend opting for the free beaches 2 or 3 instead, as they are located farther from the city and harbor, resulting in cleaner water and sand.

The water was crystal clear and refreshing, however, the sandy shore was littered with an abundance of trash. While I comprehend that this is a communal beach, the overwhelming amount of debris was unsettling.
