Having found out from the owner of the apartment where we lived which direction and what we should go on, taking a couple of sandwiches with us on his advice, although we didn’t have to take them, the cafes were open, the coffee was delicious and cheap, the food was also tasty and very cheap, Because it was not the season, we went on a trip to the Stella Polare stop.
George immediately warned us that this beach is not exactly a tourist one, not glamorous. It's quiet and peaceful there. Italian families with children come there to relax. There are no discos there, but beyond that sea is not far from Rome.
We took the metro line B (blue line) to the Piramida station. There is a train station or station from which they depart commuter trains or metro towards Cristoforo Colombo. We took the train, which runs quite often, every half hour, and sped off towards the Tyrrhenian Sea.

The town of Lido di Ostia.
Small, pleasant. Many come from Rome. We met local residents in the town, mostly elderly. They sat at tables in front of the cafe, on benches, and walked along the seashore.
But there were a lot of people on the beach. Many came from Rome.
The weather at sea was not the warmest due to strong winds, but this did not bother some people at all. Therefore, the contrast was striking: some wore winter down jackets, while others boldly sunbathed. Among the brave ones were children. They even ran into the water.
Advice: If you arrive at Fiumicino airport in the evening or at night, you can spend the night at a hotel in Ostia.
