Le Marche Spiagge
La riviera adriatica delle Marche
La regione Marche è una delle regioni che ha ottenuto il maggior numero di bandiere blu per le sue località balneari. Questo prestigioso premio europeo è stato conferito per l’attenzione all’ambiente, per le spiagge ben tenute riguardo pulizia, sicurezza, strutture e servizi e naturalmente per la qualità delle acque. Molte parti della costa sono state dichiarate eco- label.
Portonovo
Questa piccola località marittima si trova immersa nel parco nazionale del Monte Conero ed è raggiungibile percorrendo una strada tortuosa dalla vista sbalorditiva. L’ampia spiaggia è divisa in due dal Fortino Napoleonico (oggi albergo) che fu costruito nel 1808 dal vicerè italiano di Napoleone per combattere le navi inglesi.
La spiaggia è sabbiosa e ci sono diversi stabilimenti con bar e ristoranti di pesce per ogni esigenza.
Tra le lussureggianti querce di Portonovo si può visitare la chiesa di Santa Maria in stile romanico, costruita tra il 1034 e il 1048. La sua architettura normanna è unica in Italia.
Sirolo e Numana – le meraviglie della riviera del Conero
A sud di Portonovo ci sono altre due località che fanno parte del parco del Conero e cioè Sirolo e Numana, due spiagge gioiello incastonate nel promontorio.
Il centro storico di Sirolo è arroccato sulle rocce del Monte Conero, tra i lussureggianti boschi di abete rosso e dalla sua piazza si gode una vista davvero spettacolare sul mare. Ci sono diversi ottimi ristoranti, dove gustare il pesce dell’adriatico.
Per raggiungere le spiagge si percorre una strada di tornanti oppure si usufruisce del servizio Pulman, attivo in estate. Vale la pena affrontare la fatica per raggiungere il mare a piedi e scoprire le piccole insenature e le spiaggette nascoste.
Poco più a sud si trova Numana con il porto e un lunghissimo lungomare con molte possibilità per fare sport o per il divertimento di tutta la famiglia. Ci sono piste da gokart e tappeti elastici per bambini ed una movimentata vita notturna per gli adulti.
Il museo archeologico (Via La Fenice 4), documenta la storia delle tribù picene, che vissero nella zona finche non arrivarono i romani.
Non dimenticate di visitare qualche cantina per degustare il famoso vino Rosso Conero, corposo e pieno dei profumi di questa regione meravigliosa.
Porto Recanati
La località balneare più vicina all’agriturismo Fontechiara è Porto Recanati, un’elegante cittadina con ottimi ristoranti di pesce, negozi alla moda e aree attrezzate per il gioco dei bambini. Combinate una gita a Porto Recanati con una visita a Recanati e alla famosissima basilica di Loreto.
Porto Potenza Picena
Altro posto velocemente raggiungibile da Fontechiara, è Porto Potenza Picena con le sue lunghissime spiagge di sabbia libere, intervallate da piccoli stabilimenti con bar e ristoranti, dove gustare un piatto di pesce, fresco di giornata.
Nell’entroterra si trova la bella cittadina di Potenza Picena con la ottocentesca Villa Bonaccorsi molto ben conservata e circondata dal suo lussureggiante giardino.
Civitanova Marche
A Civitanova Marche si uniscono il fascino della località turistica con la laboriosa frenesia del porto. Inoltre Civitanova Marche costituisce uno dei centri più importanti dell’industria calzaturiera italiana.
Il lungomare è diviso in due dal porto dei pescherecci. Il lungomare sud ha un ricco assortimento di parchi gioco per i bambini e bei giardini dove passeggiare.
Il centro della città si trova intorno a Piazza XX Settembre ed è ricco di negozi alla moda e giardini pubblici. Il Sabato mattino è piacevole passeggiare tra le bancarelle del mercato.
Il lungomare nord è intervallato dai frangiflutti e la grande spiaggia è particolarmente adatta al bagno dei più piccoli perché l’acqua rimane poco profonda per un lunghissimo tratto. Non dimenticare di fare un salto alla gelateria Cocoloco, famosa per la sua incredibile scelta di gelati.
A pochi chilometri dalla costa si trova il centro medievale di Civitanova Marche Alta, le cui piazze e vicoli antichi sono sede di feste e concerti durante tutta l’estate. Ha inoltre una galleria d’arte moderna estremamente interessante.
A 6 km di distanza si trova una delle chiese più antiche e famose delle Marche, Santa Maria a Piè di Chienti, la cui bellissima struttura romanica risale al nono secolo e sull’ altare maggiore si possono ammirare degli affreschi del 14esimo secolo.
Porto San Giorgio
Il porto che anticamente serviva la città romana di Fermo, oggi è un’elegante località balneare con una lunga spiaggia di sabbia, un’esclusiva scelta di negozi e ristoranti e un piccolo porto tuttora in attività. Le strade e piazze si animano specialmente d’estate con concerti, sagre ed altri divertimenti.
Deve la sua eleganza allo stile architettonico liberty ed art noveaux del 19esimo secolo.
La fortezza con le sue massicce torri del 13esimo secolo è stata progettata da Lorenzo Tiepolo, famoso per i suoi lavori a Venezia.
Pedaso
Pedaso si trova a sud di Porto San Giorgio ed è famosa per i suoi allevamenti di cozze.
La spiaggia non molto lunga è ghiaiosa ed è possibile fare immersioni subacquee.
Cupra Marittima
Questa località balneare è poco frequentata dal turismo di massa ed è immersa nella rigogliosa vegetazione mediterranea. Vanta una bella spiaggia lunga 2,5 km e un meritevole porto sovrastato dalle antiche mura della città. E’ da menzionare inoltre un interessante museo di conchiglie.

Beach holidays on the Adriatic sea of Le Marche Italy
The seaside resorts of the Adriatic Coast in the Le Marche region are crowded only from mid-July to the third week of August when the Italians take their annual holidays. The rest of the time when the weather is hot, you’ll have plenty of space and find the Italians looking at you strangely and wondering why you are on the beach outside peak period.
Although all resorts on the Adriatic Sea in le Marche have scetions of free public beach (spiaggia libera), it’s not as well kept and clean as the private beaches. For a proper Beach holiday in Italy and the real Italian beach experience you will need to bite the bullet and select one of the private Italian Adriatic beaches denoted by their uniform banks of umbrellas and sun beds. These are not usually that expensive, especially if you wish to take advantage of their facilities which include changing rooms, showers, toilets, childrens playgrounds and restaurants and bars. They are also the best place to watch Italian holidaymakers on the Adriatic Coast up close and compare the peacocks strutting along the shore in their dark glasses and revealing beachwear.
The Adriatic resorts of Le Marche include one of the highest number of beaches of any region in Italy that have won the prestigious European Blue Flag award for environmentally well-kept beaches. The important “eco-label” is given to parts of the coast that meet strict criteria including beach water quality, environmental management, safety and other services.

Beach holidays on the Adriatic sea of Le Marche Italy
The seaside resorts of the Adriatic Coast in the Le Marche region are crowded only from mid-July to the third week of August when the Italians take their annual holidays. The rest of the time when the weather is hot, you’ll have plenty of space and find the Italians looking at you strangely and wondering why you are on the beach outside peak period.
Although all resorts on the Adriatic Sea in le Marche have scetions of free public beach (spiaggia libera), it’s not as well kept and clean as the private beaches. For a proper Beach holiday in Italy and the real Italian beach experience you will need to bite the bullet and select one of the private Italian Adriatic beaches denoted by their uniform banks of umbrellas and sun beds. These are not usually that expensive, especially if you wish to take advantage of their facilities which include changing rooms, showers, toilets, childrens playgrounds and restaurants and bars. They are also the best place to watch Italian holidaymakers on the Adriatic Coast up close and compare the peacocks strutting along the shore in their dark glasses and revealing beachwear.
The Adriatic resorts of Le Marche include one of the highest number of beaches of any region in Italy that have won the prestigious European Blue Flag award for environmentally well-kept beaches. The important “eco-label” is given to parts of the coast that meet strict criteria including beach water quality, environmental management, safety and other services.
Portonovo
This small adriatic resort is deep in the Conero national Park and is found at the end of a windy road with great views. The sandy Adriatic beach; which has plenty of restaurants and bars is split in two by the Fortino Napoleonico, a fort (now a hotel) built in 1808 by Napoleon’s Italian Viceroy to fight off English ships. As the lush Conero oaks reach the sea at Portonovo you will see the Romanesque church of Santa Maria. Built between 1034 and 1048, its Norman form is strangely unique in Italy.
The Adriatic resorts of Sirolo & Numana
You will find the Conero national park’s main two resorts to the South of Portonovo. Sirolo is set on the Spruce clad cliffs and has a medieval centre and many great seafood restaurants,from the small piazza that perches high above the sea you can drive or walk down to a series of small coves that boast tattorias serving up fresh fish. Head south and you will reach the marina and then the long Adriatic drag of Numana. It has a superb long with plenty of sports and activities and an archeology museum documenting the history of the Piceni tribes who lived here until Rome muscled in (Via La Fenice, 4). Head to the southern end for trampolining and gokarts and stay later for the amazing clubs and nightlife on offer.
