Porto Nuovo is a slightly indented and sandy bay which lies between the headland of Monte Conero and Promontorio di Ancona. A square tower stands on the SE entrance point of this bay which is closely fronted by two detached groups of rocks. Several lighted buoys are moored up to 0.5 mile NE of the tower and mark a fish breeding and obstruction area. Scogliera I Trave, a rocky ledge, forms the NW entrance point of the bay. It extends about 0.6 mile ESE from the coast and forms a natural breakwater. Vessels can find good anchorage, sheltered from S winds, in the SE part of the bay; local knowledge is ad vised.
