About the beach
Spiaggia di Mottagrossa, within Vasto (the province of Chieti, Abruzzo), is a pebble beach on the Adriatic Sea.
The beach faces northeast (23°). It is most sheltered when the Libeccio (SW) or Ostro (S) blows, as it comes from inland; with a Gregale (NE) or Tramontane (N) the wind blows from the sea onto the shore and can whip up waves.
Pebbly bottom: water shoes make getting in much more comfortable.
Bathing water quality: excellent (European EEA classification, 2025 season).
