Spiaggia di Portonovo

Spiaggia di Portonovo is a coastal beach with bright white limestone pebbles and gravel set against turquoise waters. The green slopes of Mount Conero rise behind the shoreline, forming a natural backdrop.

A Napoleonic fort from the early 1800s stands near the beach, marking the strategic importance of Portonovo Bay. This fortification shows a period of European military history that left its mark on the area.

Local restaurants serve mosciolo, a mussel variety that grows naturally in the rocky waters here. This ingredient has become central to how people eat and gather at this location.

The beach is reachable via shuttle service from designated parking areas, with advance reservations needed during summer months. Visiting early in the day or outside peak season helps avoid crowds on busy weekends.

The beach divides into distinct sections with the northern Pier area and southern Torre Beach each suited for different water activities. This separation lets visitors choose areas based on what they want to do in the water.
