Perched on ancient wooden stilts above the Adriatic, Trabocco Punta Tufano is one of the most emblematic fishing structures along the Costa dei Trabocchi — a coastline that stretches from Francavilla to San Vasto, dotted with these extraordinary sea machines that have shaped the identity of the Abruzzo shore for centuries.
As the sun sets over the water, you'll sit down to a dinner of traditional coastal cuisine — dishes rooted in the flavors of the local sea, paired with wines from nearby Abruzzo cellars. But the evening goes beyond the food. Between courses, the story of the trabocco comes alive: the mechanics of these complex fishing structures built on poles driven directly into the sea, the lives of the traboccanti who depended on them daily, and the extraordinary moment in August 1960 when a nearly 20-meter whale ran aground right below this very platform.
