There are four main ports in Abruzzo: [[Port of Pescara|Pescara]], [[Ortona]], [[Vasto]] and [[Giulianova]].

Over the years, the Port of Pescara has become one of the most important tourist ports of Italy and the [[Adriatic Sea]]. Heavily damaged in World War II, it underwent major renovations for some sixty years. It now consists of a modern marina with advanced moorings and shipbuilding facilities. It has been awarded the [[European Union]]'s blue flag for its services. The port of Pescara has lost passenger traffic because of its shallowness and silting, but its fishery and [[aquaculture]] activities are thriving.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.marinape.com/eng/index.aspx |title=Marina of Pescara |publisher=Marinape.com |date=31 January 2011 |access-date=12 March 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120615044113/http://www.marinape.com/eng/index.aspx |archive-date=15 June 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
