The 43rd parallel of the northern hemisphere is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface that crosses the Municipality of Grottammare along its path. At the exact point where it runs, along the cycle path that connects Grottammare to Cupra Marittima, the Dream Point 43rd parallel was inaugurated on May 5, 2012, consisting of a sculptural group of Ascoli travertine and white Abruzzo stone, created by the master Francesco Santori. The work, symbolizing the terrestrial globe, with a large "G" in the center, also represents the four Sanctuaries crossed by the Parallel (Santiago de Compostela, Lourdes, Assisi and Medjugorje). https://fondoambiente.it/luoghi/43°-parallelo?ldc

Beautiful, blue in colour, the sea on one side and palm trees on the other

The Sentina Nature Reserve, from the mouth of the Tronto River to the north, is a green oasis in which marine ecosystems coexist, such as sand dunes, brackish areas and a remarkable variety of birds. The cycle/pedestrian path runs along a dirt path, with access points to the pristine beach.

Access bridge to the north of the Sentina Reserve

We are waiting for the connection with the Sentina Nature Reserve, which will allow us to avoid the SS16 roundabout. In the meantime, the cycle path starts here.

The Dreamworld, a 5-meter diameter globe, walkable, with over a thousand lights that draw seas and continents, had been exhibited in the square by the sea for a whole year, arousing great curiosity from tourists. Small acts of vandalism then discouraged its re-display; dismantled by the technicians of the Municipality at the end of January 2024, it is not yet certain that in the future it can be repositioned in Piazza Kursaal.

Maritime town characterized by a beautiful seafront, cycle path that extends from San Benedetto to Cupra Marittima without affecting vehicular sections. Obviously, during the summer, due attention must be paid due to the greater presence of pedestrians

Between Civitanova and San Benedetto del Tronto we find many cycle paths, from the "elegant" ones of San Benedetto and Grottammare to the less frequented ones of Marina di Altidona, to the cycle-pedestrian ones of Porto San Elpidio and Civitanova... It's still a nice ride, often close to the beach...
