💡 Tips

  • Go up to Tortoreto Alto in the evening for the cooler breeze and spectacular panoramic views of the Adriatic.
  • Rent a bike; the coastal cycle path is first-rate for exploring neighboring towns without needing a car.
  • Look for the 'Green Flag' on the beaches, which marks the most child-friendly spots with shallow waters.
  • Visit in June or September to enjoy the sandy shores without the intense August crowds.
  • Early morning beach walks are the best time to see traditional clam fishermen at work in the shallows.
