User reviews

"This particular beach on the Italian Adriatic coastline is undoubtedly one of my favourite spots. The water is crystal clear and pristine, and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking, with picturesque trabocchi adding to the charm. The beach is composed of small stones, which makes it incredibly comfortable to spend the day here without the annoyance of sand. Snorkelling is ..."

Kellan Briggs

"A traditional Trabocco - a retired fishing machine unique to the region - stands proudly amidst a rugged and untamed rocky shoreline. The beach, with its natural beauty and unspoiled charm, is a sight to behold."

The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. 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 Calata Turchino (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 Calata Turchino for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
