Costa dei Trabocchi maritime landscape and tourism

Overview

The Costa dei Trabocchi is a 70-kilometer stretch of the Adriatic coast in Italy’s Abruzzo region, notable for its unique historical fishing structures called “trabocchi.” These wooden machines, built on stilts and extending from cliffs, were designed to intercept fish with large nets. While they represent a long-standing maritime tradition, many of these platforms have been repurposed into restaurants where guests can dine over the water.

The area is characterized by turquoise waters, pebble beaches, and green hills, offering a scenic landscape for travelers and cyclists. Key locations include the Punta Aderci nature reserve near Vasto, which features hiking trails and untouched coves such as Punta Penna and Mottagross. Scenic viewpoints, such as the lookout above Punta Cavalluccio, provide panoramic vistas of the coastline and its geological features.
