Spiaggia Urbani is a renowned beach located in Sirolo, a picturesque town in Italy's Marche region. The beach is situated at the foot of the village, offering breathtaking views of Monte Conero and the surrounding greenery of Parco del Conero. The beach is distinguished by its crescent shape and is composed of fine gravel and pebbles.
The beach is bordered to the south by a pier and a unique natural cavity, the Urbani cave. On the north side, it is protected by a rocky spur with a semicircular barrier of rocks. The waters of Spiaggia Urbani are crystal clear, and the depth increases gradually, making it suitable for families with children. The beach also features a moletto, a small dock-like structure, on its left side, adding to its charm.
Spiaggia Urbani is well-known for its beach establishments and restaurants, which extend along most of its length. Despite this, there are also short stretches of free beach available for visitors. The beach can get quite crowded, particularly on weekends, but it still manages to maintain a clean environment.
Access to the beach is relatively straightforward, with options to reach it by foot or by public transportation. One recommended route on foot is through a small road beneath the Cortesi theater, leading to the beach through a short walk in the woods. There are also municipal shuttle services available, particularly useful for the uphill return journey.
Parking near Spiaggia Urbani can be challenging due to its popularity. There are two parking lots available: one near the beach with limited spaces and a larger one located in the middle of the woods just below the village. Arriving early in the morning may increase the chances of securing a spot in the first parking lot, which also offers a panoramic view of the area. Alternatively, visitors can park before reaching the center of Sirolo, where a shuttle bus service operates during the summer season.
Amenities at Spiaggia Urbani include beds and parasols available for rent. Despite the steep walk or hike required to reach the beach, the stunning views and the beauty of the beach make the effort worthwhile.
