The Lido area is famous for its long, wide beaches of fine, golden sand and its elegant palm-lined promenade.

The extensive coastline is dotted with well-equipped bathing establishments. Guests can enjoy premium services at Lido Paola, Lido Cesare, Lido Arcobaleno, Lido Miramare, Lido Negril, Lido Portofino, and Lido Blu. Other fantastic options include Costa Verde Mare, Spiaggia Residence Gambinus, Chalet La Rotonda, and Helios. For those traveling with dogs, the specialized "Unica Beach" provides a welcoming environment for pets to enjoy the sand. The upper town features Renaissance architecture, such as the impressive Duomo di San Flaviano, and gives panoramic views of the Adriatic. Seafood lovers will thrive here, with numerous restaurants serving fresh, local catches prepared in traditional Abruzzese style, pairing perfectly with the region's renowned wines.
