The beach itself is a pebble beach, with the addition of fine sand to enhance comfort.

For the convenience of visitors, La Spiaggia di Pippo offers a reserved parking area, though it is somewhat hidden as it is located beside the boundary wall of the beach. Additional parking is available on the road, but spaces are often full and narrow.

In terms of amenities, the beach boasts a bar and a restaurant, providing a variety of refreshments for visitors. There is also a special snack bar for dogs. A play area equipped with agility equipment is available for dogs, while children can enjoy spacious play areas under the umbrellas.

Despite its slightly more restrictive nature when it comes to dogs, La Spiaggia di Pippo is often quieter compared to other beaches in the area, making it a peaceful and enjoyable destination for families with pets.
