An important city on the Marche Riviera, San Benedetto del Tronto is one of the principal holiday locations of the Adriatic Midlands, which still boasts a very active fishing industry. It has a long beach of fine white sand.
The seafront is rich with vegetation, mainly palm trees, which even grow on the beach. It is for this reason that San Benedetto is also known as the Riviera delle Palme.
