Misano Adriatico's main draws are the Misano World Circuit for motorsport visitors and the beach for everyone else. The Porto Verde marina at the southern end of town is the most pleasant part of the waterfront for an evening walk and a meal. Beyond these, the town functions primarily as a beach resort — the pier, the lungomare, and the beach establishments are the daily rhythm of the place from June to September.
For those with a car, Gradara Castle (a perfectly preserved medieval fortress about 10 km south) makes a good half-day outing. Rimini is 18 km north and has an old city worth exploring — the Tempio Malatestiano, the arch of Augustus, and a Roman bridge all within walking distance of each other.
