Marinelle Beach
This overlooked sliver of coastline sits at the boundary between Molise and Abruzzo, too far north for most tourists who cluster in Termoli. You'll find wild fennel growing in the dunes, their yellow umbels nodding above the tideline, and shells—whelks, mussels, cockles—scattered like punctuation across wet sand.

Is swimming safe at Marinelle Beach in Montenero di Bisaccia?
Marinelle Beach typically offers safe swimming conditions with its sandy bottom and Adriatic waters. As with many smaller beaches along the Molise coast, lifeguard services may be absent or limited to peak season weekends, so swimmers should exercise personal caution. The gentle slope of sandy beaches in this region generally makes for comfortable swimming conditions. Always assess current weather, wave conditions, and any posted warnings before entering the water. During calm summer days, the sea is usually tranquil and suitable for most swimmers. Avoid swimming during storms or high winds.
What is the best time of year to visit Marinelle Beach?
The ideal visiting period for Marinelle Beach is late spring through early autumn, with May, June, and September offering the best balance of pleasant weather and minimal crowds. Summer months provide warm water temperatures perfect for swimming and sun bathing. The beach's position offers excellent opportunities for sunset viewing, particularly during longer summer evenings. Visit during weekday mornings for the quietest experience. The northernmost location along the Molise coast means this beach remains peaceful even during Italian holiday periods when other coastal areas become congested.
