Rocca Tiepolo
Built in 1267 by the Venetian Lorenzo Tiepolo, podestà of Fermo. The fortress, quadrangular in shape with a keep and guelf battlements, represents a characteristic fortification intended to defend the ports of the Marche coastline.
Stretching over four kilometers between Casabianca and Lido San Tommaso, the Fermo coastline is a Blue Flag destination that combines modern amenities with vast green spaces. The accommodation options are extremely varied, ranging from vacation villages to family-run B&B's, ideal for those seeking relaxation or beach life.
Together with Lido San Tommaso and Casabianca, Lido di Fermo represents a natural extension of the Fermo hill with a beach that stretches over 4 kilometers.
Here, various vacation villages arise, spacious and rich in greenery, harmoniously integrated into the natural landscape alongside equipped rest areas.
The tourist offer is complemented by hotels, from the smallest family-run ones to the most advanced and equipped, along with many B&B’s, residences, and other accommodation facilities that represent a complete tourist offer where every guest can enjoy romantic sunrises by the sea, the sound of the waves, vibrant beach life, or long, relaxing walks.
The promenade is also rich in welcoming beach establishments, where you can spend fun evenings with friends, family days under the umbrellas, and savor delicious seafood dishes.
A highlight is the cycling path from Casabianca to Lido San Tommaso, which runs alongside a wide green area and allows you to enjoy the seafront at any time of the day.
The entire coastline also boasts numerous stretches of free beach, ample free parking areas, and many places where you can enjoy good food and stunning views.
In Lido di Fermo and Lido San Tommaso, two tourist information points are active throughout the summer with expert staff to support tourists in all their needs and to promote services and events with bilingual announcements broadcasted along the entire coastline.
The beaches of Lido di Fermo, Casabianca, and Marina Palmense have been continuously awarded the prestigious Blue Flag in recent years, confirming the quality of the waters and services.
Lido di Fermo is located along the Fermo coastline, between Porto Sant’Elpidio and Porto San Giorgio. It can be reached by car from the A14 motorway, taking either the Porto Sant’Elpidio or Porto San Giorgio–Fermo exit, and continuing along the SS16 Adriatica road towards the coastal areas.
The reference railway station is Porto San Giorgio–Fermo; Porto Sant’Elpidio may also be useful depending on the direction of travel and the area to be reached. From both stations, continue by local transport connections or by taxi.
Parking areas are available along the seafront and near the beach access points. In summer or during busier periods, it is advisable to follow local signs and check for any temporary parking restrictions.
