Numana Beach, also called La Spiaggiola, is one of the most accessible and upscale of the Conero. Ranks of colorful umbrellas line the sandy beach at the foot of the cliffs, with shallow water and protective reefs to make it ideal for kids. You can walk down from town or take the shuttle bus that leaves every 15 minutes from the piazza. Carefully tended and clean, with services, cafes and games. It's also close enough to go back into the center of town for lunch, if you want.
