Spiaggia del macello

Spiaggia del Macello is a public beach on the Adriatic coast stretching about 340 meters with pebbly terrain and rocky formations along the shoreline. The water is shallow and clear, allowing you to see the rocky seabed from the beach.

The name comes from a town slaughterhouse that operated nearby during the early 1900s. This reference to the area's working past remains part of the place's identity today.

Local fishermen work this beach in early morning hours, casting nets from small boats in a practice that shapes daily life at the shore. Their presence is a common sight that connects the place to the broader fishing tradition of the Adriatic region.

Visit during the warm summer months from June to September when water temperatures are comfortable for swimming. Wear water shoes to walk comfortably on the pebbly surface, and use the rocky areas as entry points into the water.

Rock formations underwater create natural pools where Mediterranean fish gather in shallow water. You can observe these pools from the surface, making the beach good for casual snorkeling or watching fish without needing equipment.
