Numana, an ancient fishing village, is a popular destination for Italian and non-Italian tourists. Nestled between the sea and Mount Conero, it is suitable for a holiday for couples, families and children.
The beaches of Numana, a Blue Flag sea
Also this year the beaches of the village are among the awarded Blue Flag — which attests to the quality of the beaches and water in terms of hygiene and cleanliness.
In the Numana low you can find many establishments, all equipped for children’s entertainment. In addition, there is a facility designed for disabled people, without architectural barriers and with all the comforts.
In the upper part of the village, however, you can venture to discover two breathtaking coves: the Spiaggiola and the Spiaggia del Frate, two natural pools where you can reconnect with the surrounding nature and practice the snorkeling.
In Numana the rehabilitation beach for turtles
Located between the Spiaggiola and the Beach of the Friars, there is the Caletta delle Tartarughe, a rehabilitation area for turtles Caretta Caretta that, after being treated, return to the sea under the observation of marine biologists before returning to complete freedom. For those who wish, it is possible to witness the release of turtles on certain dates set in June and July.
Numana and its historic center to explore
The Queen of Conero offers us sandy beaches mixed with gravel and pebbles, a crystal clear sea and protected natural oasis. But there is something else worth visiting, such as the old town of Numana. Of particular charm is the Belvedere of Piazza Nuova, a panoramic terrace from which you can admire the Monte Conero that meets the sea. The best place to take pictures, especially thanks to the Bench of Love, located on the point of the terrace with better visibility.
Visiting the village is a must go to the Costarella, the most characteristic street of the historic center. A staircase framed by vases and flowers that connects the marina, from which depart the excursions by boat towards the coves of the Conero, the upper part of the country.
In Numana for a hike in the Conero Natural Park
The green and the blue embrace in this natural park overlooking the sea. You can take the path in the Conero Natural Park on foot, by bike or on horseback, and stop at the many points where it offers beautiful views and views.
