Spiaggia di Ponente, also known as the velvet beach, is a major tourist attraction located along the Marche coast. The beach is known for its natural beauty and can be traveled along its entire length on foot or by bicycle, offering a unique experience to its visitors. The beach is crowned by the rotunda a mare, adding to its splendor and making it a spectacular sight at any time of the year. The historic center and the majesty of the Rovere fortress complete the scenario, making it an ideal destination for those who wish to spend peaceful holidays in the name of culture and traditions.
The beach is frequented by residents and is well served with a wide range of amenities for all tastes and budgets. The northern part of the beach is quieter, making it an ideal spot for those seeking tranquility. The beach is also home to a variety of wildlife, including the Fratino bird species.
Spiaggia di Ponente is a mix of free and paid beaches. The free beaches, while unpretentious, offer amenities such as showers, which are not necessarily the norm on a municipal beach. However, these areas could benefit from a little more cleanliness. Nearby, there are facilities where visitors can get a sandwich and coffee. The paid beaches are well equipped and maintained, with clean sand. However, the prices for these services are high, in line with more famous beaches such as Riccione or Numana. Parking is available but is also paid and can be expensive.
