    This is just a stunning area. The water is clear and the beach is lovely. The colors of the water are mesmerizing.

    Vasto in an wonderful town in the Abruzzon region. It has two souls which is to say there is the upper city with vistas to the Adriatic Sea and one of a beach town with its own character. It's hard to decide where to stay. No matter where you go the resturants are known for their "brodetto di pesce" .

    What else do you need besides an overwhelming view, friendly staff, a fine house wine, and all this on a romantic summer evening? Food. And fantstic food you get: "Emozioni & Sapori", run by Rosina and Giorgio, offers all of it. Try ALTA MAREA, FRITTURA DI CALAMARE E CALMARETTI, FILETTO DI OMBRINA E PISTACCHI AND TIRAMISU and you will feel like in italian paradise.

    Good fun. Well maintained and organised.
    Plenty more sun beds since last visit- which is a great improvement.
    We’ve been a few times now and it is probably time for a new slide but overall pretty good day out

    As far as museums go... needs some attention. Right now they are setting up a nativity set. It’s going to be live with actors and live animals. A spectacle in itself. I’m impressed!

    First, of the 9 photos here on TA, half of them are not of this beach. This beach is 5 KM, about a ten minute drive north from Vasto. You park in a car park area, then hike about 20 minutes down (at times) a decently steep dirt trail. We crossed new construction on a road, so (for better or for worse) maybe roads will go closer to this beach one day. The beach is straight up all rocks, about the size of your fist. My kids jumped off a gargantuan rock just off the shoreline. No services here. Where water socks if your feet are at all sensitive. Water is warm and clear, just like around the corner at Spiaggia di Vasto Marina.

    Hard to say what our favorite part was! Starts with our wonderful B&B Mille una Notte - perfectly located between the beach and the bustling Centro Stories. The Centro had fantastic restaurants and stunning views of the Adriatic. Be sure to visit Dusk, a music bar that makes killer negronis! Don't miss the Palace D'Avalos and the lovely paintings of the region from the 1700s, and the beautiful gardens overlooking the bay. We also loved our beach days. Again, great restaurants with big umbrellas and friendly staff. The cool turquoise waters are a delight.

    Lots of people, lots of fun. The water is clear and warm. My daughter and I walked for about a mile along this beach. Lido after lido is available for chairs/umbrellas and food.The only drawback is finding a parking spot. Get there early, lots of rude selfish drivers. I would not recommend trying to walk from the little town of Vasto down to these beaches.

    Our group went to lunch on the trabucco. You walk out over the Adriatic on a raised walk. The restaurant nets up fresh seafood and serves what they catch. I had a wonderful octopus salad for a starter. A large bowl of seafood was brought to the table with an amazing broth. Local wine was served along with terrific bread. What a remarkable experience.

    Originally a church built in Augustinian Order in 1266. Only the front wall lasts since the 14th century, including a beautiful stone, rose window. The interior is ok, Compared to the thousands of other amazing churches in Italy this one is ho-hum.
    The interior was reworked in a neo-Gothic style in 1853. In the same year, the name of the church was changed to San Giuseppe in honor of Napoleon’s brother, who was at that time the king of Naples. The best, most interesting, and well worth a long gaze is the triptych from 1505.
