Ponte del Mare
One of Italy's longest cable-stayed footbridges for pedestrians and cyclists, spanning the mouth of the Pescara River and linking the north and south seafront promenades.
The Ponte del Mare opened in 2009 and is about 466 metres long. Its white cable-stayed pylons have become a landmark of Pescara. The bridge has separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists, with views over the harbour, the lighthouse at the river mouth and the distant Majella mountains. It is at its best for an evening stroll or photos. At either end are the seafront promenade and beach clubs, and you can continue along the coastal cycle path. Free to access.
