Wild and untouched pebble beach in a beautiful nature reserve. Spiaggia di Punta Aderci is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in Abruzzo. It is located directly below the iconic rocky point with the trabocco, hidden in the Riserva Naturale Regionale di Punta Aderci. This beach is perfect for nature lovers: no rows of umbrellas or loud beach bars, but pure nature, clear water, and an impressive view of the cliffs. The beach consists mainly of sand mixed with pebbles and stones. The water here is incredibly clear and invites you for a refreshing dip during your hike or bike tour along the coast.

A short detour from the bike path, which is unpaved at this point, takes us to admire the view from Punta Aderci. Descending an easy path, we reach a small cove overlooking a typical trabocco.
