Spiaggia di Mottagrossa

Nestled along the pristine coastline north of Vasto, Spiaggia di Mottagrossa offers visitors a quintessential Adriatic beach experience away from the crowds.

The surrounding area is rich in biodiversity, with various bird species and native plants that thrive in the coastal ecosystem. Walking trails connect the beach to scenic viewpoints offering panoramic vistas of the Adriatic coastline.

The beach’s location provides easy access to both Vasto’s historic center and the natural wonders of the reserve, making it a strategic base for exploring the region. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful day by the sea, family fun, or a starting point for coastal adventures, Spiaggia di Mottagrossa delivers an authentic taste of Abruzzo’s magnificent coastline without the commercialization found at more tourist-heavy destinations.
