💡 Tips

  • Rent a bicycle to make the most of the 'Corridoio Verde Adriatico', a continuous, flat coastal bike path connecting to neighboring resorts.
  • The beaches are sandy and gradually sloping. While you pay for loungers at a 'stabilimento balneare', look for a 'spiaggia libera' for free beach access.
  • In the evening, the town center is pedestrianized (isola pedonale) to allow everyone to enjoy the traditional Italian 'passeggiata' (evening stroll).
  • Take a look at the 'Torre di Carlo V', a historic 16th-century watchtower near the center that stands out among the modern resort buildings.
  • The local train station makes it incredibly easy to take quick day trips to larger coastal cities like Pescara or San Benedetto del Tronto.

🍽 Food

🍽
Brodetto di pesce

Try this rich, traditional Abruzzese fish stew at a local trattoria near the seafront.

🍽
Arrosticini

These skewers of sheep meat are a regional staple; you will find the best ones at rustic eateries slightly inland from the beach.

🍽
Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

This robust regional red wine pairs beautifully with meat dishes; ordering the house wine at local spots is usually a safe and delicious bet.

🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots

🛍
Weekly street market

Ask locals for the current market day; the central streets fill with stalls selling clothes, leather goods, and fresh produce.

🛍
Regional specialties

Seek out small alimentari (delis) to buy high-quality local olive oil, dried artisanal pasta, and saffron from L'Aquila.

🧘
Tronto River mouth

Walk north to where the Tronto River meets the sea; it is a protected natural area great for birdwatching and escaping the crowds.

🧘
The coastal pine woods

The small clusters of pine trees set just back from the beach provide a cool, shaded retreat from the midday sun.
