Discover the Trabocchi Coast in Abruzzo
A place that touches your heart with its beauty.
Welcome to the Trabocchi Coast, in Abruzzo.
Find out what to see and do during your vacation in Torino di Sangro.
Enjoy the trabocchi, elaborate, wooden structures that look like stilt houses. They were once used by the area's peasants to go into the sea and fish with their nets.
Today, the trabocchi have abandoned their centuries-old use and many of them have turned into seafood restaurants. Others are still there, for no special use, showing all their charm.
In addition to the trabocchi, our area has so much to offer. Such as the beautiful beaches and green shared-use paths such as the Via Verde dei Trabocchi, where the ever-present view of the sea allows you to cross the entire coastline and soak in breathtaking sights.
But there's more: discover what you can see starting from Camping Sun Beach!
