The Costa dei Trabocchi is one of the most captivating stretches of the Adriatic coast, featuring a succession of breathtaking views, charming fishing villages, hidden beaches, and historical landmarks that reveal the true spirit of Abruzzo. Here, the sea alternates with headlands, small coves, and scenic trails, offering ever-changing landscapes to explore at a leisurely pace. Among the area's most distinctive features are the trabocchi—ancient fishing structures suspended over the water and made famous by the writings of Gabriele D’Annunzio. Today, many of these have been converted into atmospheric seaside restaurants where tradition, history, and cuisine come together in a unique setting. Just a short distance away runs the Via Verde, a cycling and walking path built along the route of the historic Adriatic railway. Following the coastline, the trail passes through some of the most spectacular views of the area and provides easy access to beaches, coves, and panoramic spots immersed in nature. There are numerous points of interest nearby. The impressive Abbey of San Giovanni in Venere overlooks the landscape from a hill facing the sea, while the Lecceta of Torino di Sangro is one of the region’s most valuable natural reserves. The historic centers and waterfronts of Ortona, San Vito Chietino, Rocca San Giovanni, Fossacesia, Casalbordino, and Vasto are also worth visiting, each offering its own identity, traditions, and cultural heritage to discover. This area is also an ideal destination for food lovers. The local culinary tradition offers authentic flavors ranging from freshly caught fish to artisanal cured meats, from vegetables grown in the surrounding countryside to traditional Abruzzese sweets. Completing the experience are excellent local wines and extra virgin olive oil, expressions of a food and wine culture deeply connected to both land and sea.
