Numana
A seaside town at the southern foot of Monte Conero, with a lookout and a small port in the upper town, and a long sandy beach and marina below.
Numana has two parts. The old town on the clifftop has the Sanctuary of the Holy Cross, a viewing terrace, and an archaeological museum of Roman-era remains, with views over the Monte Conero coastline. Below is the lively yacht marina, also one of the ferry piers for the Due Sorelle beaches. To the south, Marcelli is a long sandy beach with well-equipped bathing facilities, good for families. The town has many seafood restaurants, and its signature dish is the wild mussel “moscioli.” Numana is about 2 km from Sirolo. You can walk along the coast or take the shuttle between the two towns.
