Tips from the Community
The longest and most pristine pebble beach of the reserve. Spiaggia di Mottagrossa is located in the western part of the Riserva Naturale Regionale di Punta Aderci. While the beach at the Punta Aderci headland is often a bit busier, at Mottagrossa you will find pure tranquility and a vast, wild landscape. The beach stretches for kilometers and consists entirely of large pebbles and stones (ciottoli), bordered by an impressive wall of clay and sand cliffs covered with typical Mediterranean vegetation. Along the top of the cliff runs a beautiful, elevated panoramic path. This path is perfect for gravel biking and hiking, and offers a constantly amazing view of the Adriatic Sea.

Nature trail Punta Aderci โ Wild gravel paradise along the coast ๐๐ด Here you cycle through the wildest and most untouched part of the Via Verde dei Trabocchi. The unpaved Sentiero Natura winds through the protected nature reserve Riserva Naturale di Punta Aderci, past cliffs, golden fields, and the azure Adriatic Sea. The gravel stretch takes you to spectacular viewpoints, where you overlook the iconic Trabocco di Punta Aderci and the impressive coastline. On clear days, you can even see the peaks of the Majella mountains on the horizon. A unique mix of wild nature, sea views, and adventure. Perfect for gravel bikes, mountain bikes, and sturdy e-bikes. Don't forget your camera and bring plenty of water, as there are no facilities along the way.

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.

A short detour from the bike path, which is unpaved at this point, takes us to admire the view from Punta Aderci. Descending an easy path, we reach a small cove overlooking a typical trabocco.

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!
