Gabicce Mare, Coastal resort in Pesaro and Urbino Province, Italy
Gabicce Mare is a coastal settlement along the Adriatic Sea featuring sandy beaches and clear water, positioned at the boundary between Marche and Emilia-Romagna regions. The town spreads along the shoreline with beaches, a working harbor, and residential areas blended together.
The settlement grew from the ancient Roman site of Ligabitium and transformed from a fishing village into a modern beach destination over the 20th century. This shift mirrors broader changes along the Adriatic coast where fishing communities became tourist centers.
The sea shapes daily life here, and visitors can experience fishing traditions in local restaurants where fresh daily catches become meals. This connection to the water shows itself in how people use the harbor and beaches.
The town connects to major cities through the A14 motorway and offers train services from nearby Cattolica station. The nearest airport at Rimini provides convenient arrival options for visitors.
Monte San Bartolo Natural Park rises directly from the sea, forming a noticeable elevation that provides views across the entire Adriatic coastline. This hill creates an unexpected landscape shift in an otherwise flat coastal region.
