We have a half day car service available to us and want to go to the beach from Rome. There are 7 adults and a one year old. I have read about the Ostia Lido beaches, but the Marinella beach seems to be the most recommended. Does anyone know the fee to get into the private beaches? Does this include umbrellas and lounges, and if not, how much for those? We would be going on a Sunday and I think we would need to get there fairly early to get a spot. Please give me your best advice! Thanks. We are so looking forward to taking a break from the heat of the city for a little while.

Prices range depending on the beach concession establishment, location, day of the week. The admittance is generally about €3 pp. For an umbrella rental it's generally €8 to €10. Then there is the charge for each chez. That ranges from €10 to €15. Folding chairs are less than a chez, generally under €10. Prices include use of a changing cabin and use of other concession facilities (which may include, maybe for an additional fee, ping pong, beach volley and sometimes swimming pool etc,). There are also many beaches that are public and are free, however there you have no amenities, beach umbrellas, bars, etc. there are also half day fares after 3pm.
I think going to a nice establishment would be a nice way to experience how Italians spend their summers (at the whopping cost of €2,000 to €3500 per family per season)
