Monte Conero

From World travel guide

A cylindrical mountain that juts out into the Adriatic breaking miles of low sandy beaches along the east coast of Italy. On a clear day, from the top, one might see Yugoslavia in the distance, but is garanteed an eye-full of blue ocean from horizon down to the impossibly steep edge. At the base of Monte Conero there is Porto Nuovo with its landmark Tower and other communities. One can join the locals, at one of the many, albeit rocky, yet smooth white and clear water beaches. The farther you venture from the "developed" beaches the less clothes you see. In fact around the cliff edge you will see many Italian men sunbathing nude upon the rocks like sea lions.
