Tips from the Community
I confirm the path seems closed. Thankfully, there is a small path on the side. A bit dangerous but possible to cross.

I passed through on my gravel bike; there's a passage, but it's very narrow. If there's a couple of you and you don't have an e-bike, the passage is doable with limited risk.

The Adriatic Cycle Route runs along the coast, passing the edge of the Santo Stefano pine forest. Not far away is the mouth of the Sinello River, which flows into the Adriatic.

There's a landslide on the trail, and you'll have to take a 50-meter detour onto a path that's narrow and steep both up and down! With a little caution, you can do it anyway!

Definitely the most beautiful part of the Via Verde dei Trabocchi, fantastic for gravel!

From the highest point of the Punta Aderci promontory, you have a beautiful view of the trabocco and the small pebble beach.
