Rimini's beach is mostly private clubs charging for loungers, but free public access strips exist between them at San Giuliano Mare and near Miramare.
Cross the 2,000-year-old Ponte di Tiberio to Borgo San Giuliano, the old fishermen's quarter of pastel houses covered in murals of Fellini film scenes.
Rimini is Fellini's hometown, and the Fellini Museum across Castel Sismondo and Palazzo Valloni is an immersive walk through his films rather than a dusty archive.
Avoid Ferragosto (mid-August) when Italian holidaymakers pack the beaches and prices spike; June and September give you the same sea with far fewer people.
Eat piadina from a kiosk—Romagna's flatbread with squacquerone and rocket is a cheap local staple, whereas seafront sit-down restaurants charge a massive premium for the same snack.
The Roman core is genuinely worth an hour — Arch of Augustus, Piazza Cavour and the Domus del Chirurgo mosaics — before you write Rimini off as a party beach.
