A "trabocco" (plural trabocchi) is a makeshift wooden structure made by fisherman to tie their boats or to fish. Their delicate structures are part of the landscape here and all along this part of the Adriatic coast. You can reach one (and get away from the crowd) starting from Spiagga Aurora (but you have to be able to swim if the tide is high). Walk along the beach toward the "Sirenetta" statue then carry on in the water (attention to the rock) after 5 minutes, you'll reach your reward: a small cove and the trabocco. Try and walk on it: it's not as easy as it seems!
