Riviera del Conero and beaches

View south from Monte ConeroThe Riviera del Conero is the closest resort area to Ancona. What is distinctive about the area is the huge Monte Conero headland dominating the coastline in a stretch of the Adriatic sea flat for miles either way.

The area, and especially the Monte Conero, is therefore an unusual microclimate of beaches, reefs, coves and cliffs. It is an area of uncontaminated beauty. From the towns of Numana and Camerano there are also day trips to bays inaccessible by land, two examples being 'Gabiani' (Seagulls) and 'Due Sorelle' (Two Sisters).

The beach at Sirolo was voted the 'Queen of Italian Beaches' in 1996 while the Monte Conero was declared Marche's first regional park in 1987. It was in this area that a huge great white shark was seen in the summer of 2000.

But don't let that put you off. To get up close before you go watch this original video presentation of the zone by Marco Bravi of the Centro Culturale Conero.
