Hazards

TWO PEAKS The rideable waves are at Torre beach (south, by the tower) and Vela beach (north, past the church) — check both before choosing.
PEBBLES/ROCKS Conero bay beaches are pebble and rock, not sand — footwear helps on entry.
CONERO PARK Inside the Conero Regional Park — protected slopes and water, keep the bay as you found it.
NE WINDSWELL Like the whole Adriatic, this is Bora/NE windswell territory — short-lived and wind-dependent, watch the forecast windows.
