Welcome to Grottammare, a cherished destination along Italy's 'Riviera delle Palme' (Palm Riviera). It is an ideal spot for a classic beach holiday, offering a tranquil atmosphere perfect for both families and couples. The town is defined by its long stretches of fine, golden sand that meet the calm and shallow Adriatic Sea. The water here has consistently earned the Blue Flag award for its cleanliness, making for delightful and worry-free swimming.
While the main town beach is lovely, especially at Spiaggia di Grottammare Alta where the charming medieval village provides a stunning backdrop, the wider region invites exploration. For an unforgettable day trip, travel to the iconic Beach of the Two Sisters, famous for its dramatic twin sea stacks rising from the water. Alternatively, those who love wilder coastlines will appreciate Spiaggia Sassi Neri, a unique beach known for its dark pebbles and untamed beauty.
Grottammare offers a relaxed and charming setting, which stands in contrast to the livelier atmosphere of its larger neighbor, San Benedetto del Tronto. The choice between them often comes down to personal travel style, and with a beautiful promenade connecting the two, it's easy to experience both. Whether you seek peaceful days on the sand or a base for discovering hidden coves, this area delivers. For a complete guide to all the local gems, be sure to explore our full list of the best beaches.
