Porto Recanati is a popular seaside resort, boasting 8 km of both wide sandy and gravel beaches , with an attractive view of the peak of Monte Conero to the north. Porto Recanati is an ideal holiday destination: the coastal area has an abundance of leisure facilities, including recreation grounds for children and modern beach resorts. It’s a lively place with a fun nightlife too.
The most pleasant stretch of beach - and the highest concentration of good hotels - runs from the centre of town southwards.
In the central Corso Mazzini stands its castle and narrow streets of brick houses.
There are plenty of reasonably priced restaurants serving the Marche version of fish stew - brodetto - which must be made with 13 species of fish, no more, no less.
