Spring sea at its ideal temperature: the beach is there, the sun is there, the crowds aren't. The May Day weekend is one of the best times to enjoy the Marche coast without queues.
In late April-early May the Velvet Beach is at its best season for those wanting to enjoy the sea without the pressure of August: pleasant temperatures (20-24°C), water warming up gradually (17-18°C), bathing establishments open, restaurants with tables free.
1 May is Labour Day — a national holiday that, if close to the weekend, creates a 3-4-day break. It's one of the most sought-after moments of spring for short seaside getaways. In spring weekends fewer venues are open compared to summer, and the best spots sell out quickly: a private apartment offers total flexibility, with a kitchen for breakfast and packed lunches.
Book at least 1-2 months ahead for the best choice. If it rains, the old town is well equipped: shops, museums (Rocca Roveresca, Diocesan Museum), cafés and restaurants, or an excursion to Urbino (50 min).
