Pedaso, the beach where the Aso valley meets the sea

Pedaso is a seaside town on the coast of the Fermo area, where the Aso valley reaches the Adriatic. The centre lies just a few metres above sea level, squeezed between the beach, the Adriatic railway and the hill behind.

The location is practical. The railway and the coastal main road run along the shore, and the A14 motorway has an exit named after the town. In summer the population grows with holidaymakers, and some of the seafront homes are second homes: if you plan to live here all year, find out how the town changes in the colder months. For houses near the beach, sea salt and upkeep of the façades matter; in the lower part, check the official flood maps, which the report looks up for the address.

Pedaso is one of the few places in the area where the population is rising. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,856 residents (2023), up 3.1% since 2011. The average age is 46.2, below the 47.6 of the province of Fermo, and over-65s are 23.6% against 26.8% provincially. Foreign residents make up 12.1%, and declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

All 40 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2. In Pedaso the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.181 g, a medium value. If you are buying a flat in a block from the 1960s or 1970s, ask for the design date and any structural work carried out.
