Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle

Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle is a gravel-and-pebble cove beneath Monte Conero. Two pale sea stacks rise offshore, giving the beach its name and a distinctive profile within Sirolo's coastal landscape.

Why it matters

The cove brings together the main elements of the Conero shore: steep cliffs, broken stone and the open Adriatic. Its landscape forms part of the protected coastal setting of the regional park.

What to notice

The two stacks stand apart from the cliff line and contrast with the lower curve of the beach. Pale gravel and pebbles give the shore a different texture from a sandy strand. Above it, the cliffs descend abruptly towards the water, making the relationship between mountain and sea especially clear.

Context and history

The regional park was established in 1987 around Monte Conero and its surrounding territory. The Due Sorelle cove belongs to this wider conservation landscape. Its name refers to the paired rock formations, while its physical character reflects the steep meeting of the Conero promontory with the Adriatic coast.
