Blue Flag Beaches in Marche 2026
In Marche, 20 municipalities have been awarded the Blue Flag in 2026 — the international FEE recognition for bathing water quality, amenities and environmental management. Here you'll find the full list with awarded beaches, services, accessibility, map and real-time sea temperature.
The Marche offer the most morphologically varied stretch of the Italian Adriatic: long golden-sand beaches from Pesaro and Fano south to Senigallia, the semi-inaccessible car-free coves of the Conero Riviera — the only limestone headland on the Italian Adriatic — and the well-equipped promenades of Civitanova Marche and San Benedetto del Tronto. Blue Flag beaches cover more than half of this 170-km coastline, with water quality consistently ranking among the cleanest on the Adriatic.
In 2026, Marche has 20 Blue Flag municipalities across 5 provinces: about 8% of the 257 awarded in Italy. Unchanged from 2025.
