Spiaggia delle Morge, Sandy beach in Torino di Sangro, Italy.
Description
Spiaggia delle Morge is a sandy beach along the Adriatic coast with white sand in its southern section and pebbles toward the north. The shoreline extends for a considerable length, offering different water conditions and facilities suited to different types of swimmers.
History
In medieval times, the beach area served as a small port for the Osento river, managed by Benedictine monks from Santo Stefano a Rivomare abbey. This religious community shaped the location's use for centuries.
Culture
The name comes from the Latin word 'murex', which means stone or rock, and reflects the geology of the northern section. This origin is evident in the varied composition you see along the coastline today.
Practical
The southern section has shallow waters that work well for families, while the northern area offers deeper waters and breakwater structures. Choose your swimming spot based on your skill level and preferences.
