User reviews
"The ocean is amazing, but there are no amenities. It's a free beach, with only a fountain to provide relief from the heat. You can access it from the bike path or by taking the steep stairs from the highway. If you're lucky, you can find a spot in the upper square."
Aurora Alverez
"This beach is undoubtedly one of the best on the Abruzzo coast. The sea is crystal clear and it's best to visit in the morning for the best experience. Nearby, there's the Trabocco Valle Grotte restaurant, which is the best in the area. I highly recommend going there for lunch or dinner and enjoying the incredible atmosphere. There aren't many parking spots, but don't worry ..."

Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Spiaggia di Valle Grotte (Chieti) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Spiaggia di Valle Grotte for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.
