Latest reviews on Ancona's beaches

Baia Canaria
10 LUCIA RAVENHURST

This place is absolutely amazing! It offers a great time for both dogs and dog enthusiasts on the stunning Adriatic coast ❤

Frate Beach
10 Rylan Parker

You can park your car in Numana and it's just a 15-minute walk to reach the beach. There are both public and paid beach options available.

Numana Alta Beach
10 Nathaniel Greene

This beach is truly amazing, with both private and public areas. However, in order to access it, you'll need to park in Numana and walk down.

Le Due Sorelle Beach
10 Natalie Kessler

We decided to make a last-minute reservation to witness the release of turtles into the sea. While we were hoping for more than just one turtle sighting, the experience was still incredible. The boat ride was an enjoyable and picturesque journey, especially since there were fewer people than usual due to COVID-19. The boat staff was helpful and accommodating during disembarkation. Upon arriving at the Beach of the Two Sisters, we had to descend a ladder - a thrilling experience! 😁👌 Although we missed out on the sun due to our 5 pm departure, the beach was still a sight to behold, even in the dark. The sun sets around 3 pm, so it's best to plan a morning visit and stay until the afternoon to savor a private view and swim.

Urbani Beach
8 Nate Greyson

This beach is an ideal destination for young families. The presence of a protected baby pool, shielded by towering rocks, adds to its charm. However, the only drawback I personally find is that it is a small beach with pebbles and stones. Nevertheless, the sea is usually calm and tranquil, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing day out.

San Michele Beach
8 Nathanial Wintersmith.

This beach is a pristine and well-kept destination, boasting a mix of coarse sand and small stones. While there are only a handful of free areas to lounge, visitors can rent an umbrella and beach loungers for a fee, though these can be a bit pricey, starting at a minimum of 20€ per day. The beach also offers free access to showers and toilets, which is a nice convenience for visitors. To reach the beach, visitors can take a bus from the town of Sirolo or one of the nearby parking lots, with tickets costing only 1€ per person per trip. The water is crystal clear and pleasantly warm, making it an ideal spot for swimming and soaking up the sun.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 16 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the region is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 27°C and water up to 26.7°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 10.2°C and water to 13.4°C.
