💡 Tips

  • Explore the 'Biotopo Costiero', a protected dune area right by the sea, for a walk in untouched nature.
  • Use the 'Via Verde dei Trabocchi' bike path, which follows the old railway line along the coast with great views.
  • Visit nearby Vasto for an impressive view from Piazza Rossetti overlooking the entire gulf.
  • Avoid visiting in August when beaches are very crowded; June and September offer the best balance of weather and peace.
