Beach at Grottammare

The pleasant seaside town of Grottammare offers the rare luxury of a free beach in an Italian seaside town, and this just 30 minutes drive from the house.  The beach is surrounded by palm trees, has free showers and a drinking fountain and is within easy walk of the town center. Perfect for a day out with the kids.

The sea is safe and warm with shallow sandy beaches. If there is space you can park on the sea front for free. There are many other free beaches north of Grottammare and plenty of private ones up and down this stretch of the Adriatic.

Grottammare also has a large supermarket and several other shops for supplies. The modern pedestrianised center is just the place for a seaside stroll and outdoor pizza. Up on the hill overlooking the town is the old town with spectacular views down the coast, a lovely warren of medieval buildings and a number of superb restaurants.
