Spiaggia di Grotta del Saraceno, Sandy beach in Vasto, Italy
Description
Spiaggia di Grotta del Saraceno is a sand and pebble beach along the Costa dei Trabocchi, marked by natural rock outcrops that rise from the water. Mediterranean shrubs and plants line the shore, creating a natural boundary between beach and surrounding landscape.
History
The coast became an important maritime trading hub during Roman times, and ancient fishing structures still stand as evidence of this long history. The settlement evolved around the sea and preserved a connection spanning thousands of years.
Culture
The fishermen who work here rely on centuries-old methods that shape daily life along the water. Their wooden fishing platforms extend into the sea and remain central to how locals interact with and understand their coastal environment.
Practical
The beach offers rentals for umbrellas and sunbeds to make your visit more comfortable. A shuttle service links this location to nearby facilities and the adjacent sandy beach at Punta Penna.

The waters here harbor crabs, sea anemones, and starfish, making it a rewarding spot for snorkeling and exploring marine life. The shallow areas near the rocks provide good visibility for observing these creatures in their natural setting.
