The seaside
The coast is a succession of long golden beaches interposed by shadowing pinewoods. The sea is beautiful with shallow water where you can splash around and with sandy beaches where you can relax and sunbathe.
From Civitanova Marche, through Lido di Fermo to Porto San Giorgio, you can find shores with pebbles and sandy beaches.
There is no other region in Italy where the sea is so close to towns and villages very rich in Art and History and a step away from the gentle rolling hills of the hinterland.
