💡 Tips

  • Stroll along the long seaside promenade that connects the area to the center of Giulianova.
  • The regional train line is excellent for exploring the famous 'Trabocchi' fishing piers further south.
  • Keep in mind that most shops close between 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM for the afternoon siesta.
  • Early morning is the best time for the beach, as the Adriatic Sea is at its calmest.
  • Take advantage of the well-maintained bike paths that run along the entire coastline.
