About the beach
In the municipality of Ancona, in the province of Ancona (Marche), Spiaggia della Vela is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.
Orientation: northeast (29°). An offshore wind, i.e. the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S), keeps it calm; the Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N) hits it from the sea and can raise waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water rated excellent by the EEA (2025 season).
