The Abruzzo Coastline

130 kilometres of coast to suit all tastes! The Abruzzo coastline is very varied: wide, sandy shores, high, jagged cliffs, narrow creeks, pebble beaches and some areas still completely undeveloped.

There are hundreds of restaurants and excellent beach facilities ready to satisfy all the needs of holidaymakers.

In the north, Martinsicuro has wide, sandy beaches, and a beautiful tower embellished with renaissance friezes. Tortoreto Lido follows with its beach adorned with palms and marine pines, restaurants, campsites, discos, sports centres and a beautiful water park.

Further south Alba Adriatica has a beach edged by a pinewood. Giulianova Lido provides a good mooring and berth for pleasure craft.

The upper town offers, apart from the many shops, art galleries and antique shops, a municipal picture gallery with very interesting paintings, an impressive renaissance cathedral, a striking tower and the beautiful ruins of the ancient medieval walls.

As you travel south there are numerous beautiful beaches including Pineto with its pinewood right on the beach and a picturesque seafront.

Silvi is on the territorial line between Teramo and Pescara with a 4 kilometre long beach, good hotel facilities, night clubs and many cultural and sporting enterprises.

Very close to Montesilvano Marina, famous for its long sandy shores and modern hotels, lies Marina di Citta' S. Angelo with stretches of pebbly beach, rich in Mediterranean vegetation.

In less than 15 minutes it is possible to reach Citta' S. Angelo village with its XIII century collegiate church of S. Michele famous for its 1500's portico. The churches of S. Chiara and S. Agostino's are also worth a visit.

Just a few miles south is Pescara, a modern, young city, where the metropolitan life can be enjoyed to its full. The long beach, night clubs, tourist harbour, sports centres, and many cultural experiences.

Among these are the birthplaces of Gabriele D'Annunzio and Ennio Flaiano, the antique Bagno Borbonico with the Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo (Museum of the Abruzzo People) and the cathedral of S. Cetteo.

Heading inland from Pescara, it is possible to visit the countryside: hills, mountains, the National Park of Abruzzo, and that of the Majella, the small piedmont towns.
