Castel Fusano is Rome's large coastal pine forest and beach park south of Ostia, popular for walking, cycling and free beaches. Local press reports periodic enforcement operations here, including mounted patrols against degrado and wildfire risk, temporary closures of parts of the pineta, and a 2026 blitz resulting in arrests and closure of unlicensed restaurants, but these reflect environmental and regulatory enforcement rather than violent crime, and no muggings or assaults specific to the area were found. Daytime use of the park and beaches is calm; the large, unlit forest interior after dark warrants the ordinary caution appropriate to any big unlit park.

This link is already scoped to this area (not the whole city), using the neighbourhood's real coordinates.
This rating comes from a structured local-source assessment. This specific area was reviewed against credible local sources — local and national news, municipal and police-published material, and official surveys where they exist — and the signals were consolidated across sources rather than taken from any single report, with the reasoning and the sources shown above. Rome publishes no comparable neighbourhood-level crime dataset; where a city does publish one, Wandroz uses it instead of an assessment. Where a review finds nothing documented, that is recorded as no findings rather than as a safety rating.

Is there official crime data for Castel Fusano?
Not an official government crime feed — Castel Fusano's rating comes from Wandroz's own current local/national press and survey research for this specific area instead (see the note on this page for what was checked and the sources used). An absence of recent negative coverage is treated as inconclusive, not as proof the area is safe. If you live in or know Castel Fusano well, you can suggest a correction using the link below.
