You’ll be spoilt for choice. Every beach establishment has its own sports ground and beach tournaments are organized every day.  Traditions are not forgotten on Senigallia beach: marble tournaments are organised every summer, starring coloured plastic marbles on homemade tracks – dug on the sand shore by dragging a friend by the legs! – or professional tracks – perfect examples of sandy masterpieces.
