Abruzzo has a long Adriatic Sea coastline boasting blue flag beaches and the classic "Trabocchi" coast with its famous "fishing machines" , unsurprisingly known as trabocchi (or trabocco in the singular). Some of these have been turned into small restaurants perched on their legs in the sea. Well worth making a booking. There are also plenty of other restaurants, bars and, of course, ice cream parlours!

Italians love the beach and in season the beaches can be quite busy so you are best advised to book your place and your umbrella! You can people watch whilst you perfect your tan.
