Rimini Beach

In Rimini, all life takes place on the fine sandy beach. Here, you can enjoy the rays of the rising sun on a comfortable lounger as early as the morning. Make yourself comfortable during the day in the shade of a colorful parasol while sipping a cocktail or a glass of lemonade. There is also much to discover in the surroundings of Rimini: not far from Rimini's beach is the miniature park "Italia in Miniatura," where Italian and European buildings are displayed in miniature form. Rimini is also known for its exciting nightlife with numerous discos and bars.

Riccione Beach

The harbor of Riccione is located slightly south of Rimini and is one of the most beautiful places for a beach holiday on the Adriatic, especially in summer. Noteworthy is not only the golden sand but also the good infrastructure. Along the coastal section, there are numerous hotels, typical Italian pizzerias, and more. The beach of Riccione is especially popular with young people and families. Many are drawn to the nearby Avventura amusement park. Local operators also organize boat tours, SUP trips, kayak excursions, and banana boat rides. For sailing, you set off from Porto di Riccione.

Lido di Jesolo Beach

People of all ages are drawn to the Lido di Jesolo. Here, children can splash around undisturbed in the shallow water, while parents can bask in the sun undisturbed. At sunset, adults enjoy the lively atmosphere when DJs gather on the beach with great music and a breathtaking light show. But that's not all, because the Lido di Jesolo is also suitable for dog owners: dogs are allowed to run freely on their own section of the beach and romp with their fellow dogs. Bau Bau Beach was the first dog beach in Italy and is famous beyond the country's borders.

Bibione Beach

There is plenty of space on the wide sandy beach of Bibione. Make yourself comfortable on a sun lounger, spread out your towel, and look forward to a relaxing summer day under the Italian sun. Four-legged friends are also warmly welcome: The beach section "La Spiaggia di Pluto" is designed as a dog-friendly beach park. A nice beach walk takes you eastward to the lighthouse of Bibione. A hike is also worthwhile towards the western coastal section. There, the "Mediterranean Garden of East Venice" extends with a natural dune landscape that can be explored in peace on a walking path with magnificent views over the sea.

Vasto Marina Beach

The beach is considered a paradise along the coast of Italy for good reason. Let your soul unwind while sunbathing, relax on the loungers, or cool off by swimming in the Mediterranean. Between May and October, you can look forward to sunny days with temperatures over 25°C. Just a few minutes' walk from the dream beach, you'll find numerous restaurants and bistros along the promenade to refresh yourself. During the day, you can try various water sports. In the evening, you have a choice of many entertainment options. The nearby historic center of Vasto offers cultural highlights.

San Michele Beach Sirolo

The picture-perfect beach consists of pebbles and sand and is surrounded by the steep, densely forested mountain slopes of the park. Here you can enjoy peace and relaxation in the stunningly beautiful bay. Swim in the turquoise Adriatic or unwind under the sun umbrellas on the loungers. Both in the summer high season and in the transitional periods, you can plan numerous activities around Spiaggia San Michele Sirolo. Sailing trips across the Mediterranean or hikes through the regional park are very popular. Many cultural highlights and entertainment options await you in the northern city of Ancona.

Caorle Beach

The fine sandy beach of Caorle stretches over 18 km. East of the center is the Levante beach. It extends from the center to the lagoon at Falconmera. The White Oasis offers a luxurious beach experience: the beach resort features white pavilions and sunbeds as welcoming retreats. To the west, the Ponente beach adjoins the old town of Caorle. It stretches over a length of 1,800 m. Six floating platforms in the sea are popular with ambitious vacationers. At the beach resorts, you can rent loungers and umbrellas, and during the high season, an entertainment program is offered.

Otranto Beach

Around Otranto, you have several beaches to choose from. They all share a gently sloping shore. In many places, the water remains shallow up to 100 meters from the coast. Thus, the beach of Otranto is perfect for families with children. The beaches north of the harbor are protected by breakwaters. At the beaches, there are beach clubs called Lido, where you can rent loungers and umbrellas. However, you will also find freely accessible coastal sections. Along the palm-designed promenade, you will find numerous stalls where you can buy drinks and snacks. There is also a small park with shady benches.
