For those who pay attention to details, you may have noticed the turquoise color of our logo. It is not a random choice, it is a choice that actually has significance, it represents the union between the green of the Abruzzo mountains and the blue of its coast. Abruzzo, besides being considered the greenest region in Europe, has over 130 kilometers of coastline that host beaches for all tastes.
In this post, we want to show you 5 of the most beautiful beaches of the region that you can’t miss this summer. These are only some of the many options that this wonderful region offers.
1.- Ripari di Giobbe
In addition to being a fraction of territory that belongs to the municipality of Ortona, I Ripari di Giobbe is considered one of the most attractive beaches in all Abruzzo. It is fundamentally composed of white pebbles, is part of the Costa dei Trabocchi and was declared as natural reserve since 2007. It is not an easily accessible beach, for those who want to visit it will have to go down and then up (the effort will be richly rewarded), through a stairway with 190 steps. In addition, nearby, it is possible to find a camping area and a restaurant.
2.- Punta Ferruccio
Just a few meters away from I Ripari di Giobbe beach, it is possible to find the Punta Ferruccio beach. To get there, a short path of approximately 500 metres needs to be crossed to get to the beach, which also offers a stunning panoramic view. The waters of Punta Ferruccio are clear and crystalline, and unlike I Ripari di Giobbe, pebbles are mixed with sand, especially on the seashore.
3.- Calata Turchino
The beach of Calata Turchino is part of the Costa dei Trabocchi and has the same name as the traboccho that is located a few meters away. It is composed of pebbles and sand and its waters are crystal clear. In terms of its dimensions, Calata Turchino beach is small, its waters are calm and shallow, and it is not easily accessible. It is one of the many ideal places in Abruzzo to connect with nature, especially during sunrise and sunset.
4.- Torre di Cerrano
From the Costa dei Trabocchi and moving towards north along the coast, we will find the Area Marina Protetta Torre di Cerrano. It is the first protected marine area in Abruzzo and was established as such from 2010. It is located between the towns of Silvi and Pineto, in the province of Teramo, and extends for approximately 7 kilometers. The beach of Torre di Cerrano is a golden sandy beach, dominated precisely by the tower, with a unique environment in the region due to the strong presence of dunes.
5.- Punta Aderci
The beach of Punta Aderci takes the same name as the natural reserve where it’s located, the Natural Reserve of Punta Aderci, and is considered by many as the most beautiful beach in Abruzzo. Like the beach of Torre di Cerrano, it’s characterized by the strong presence of dunes and is dominated by the trabocco with the same name, the trabocco of Punta Aderci. The reserve is an ideal place to practice active tourism that involves activities such as canoeing, hiking, and guided bike tours. Nearby, it’s possible to stay at Camping Village Grotta del Saraceno, which is only 1 kilometer away from the beach of Punta Aderci.
