Mansarda in Porto Sant'Elpidio

The cluster is on the Adriatic coast, with a continuous seafront of beaches along Porto Sant'Elpidio and the coastal strip toward Civitanova Marche and Porto San Giorgio. The lower hills of the Marche rise a short distance inland, but within this radius the landscape is mainly coastal urban fabric, beach establishments and the flat coastal plain at the mouth area of the Chienti. Civitanova Marche is the nearest larger town and provides a full set of shops, services and rail links on the coast. Inland, the first historic hill towns of the Fermano are reachable in a short drive, but they sit beyond the immediate coastal setting. This stretch of coast is known for seaside tourism and footwear manufacturing in the wider area between Civitanova and Montegranaro.
