The coastal area of Le Marche is for the most part typical of Italian beaches. They are flat, long and sandy, very clean, with beds and umbrellas on daily hire during the summer.

Loads of very good restaurants serving mostly fresh fish dishes line the pavements and overlook the beaches. The swimming is safe with many having breakwaters which create shallow and calm areas which are perfect for mucking about with the kids.

Our closest beach is 35 minutes away, and our favourite is Porto San Giorgio (74 km). On the Conero peninsula close to Ancona, you can find relatively unknown and stunning beaches.
