Bibione
An hour’s drive from Venice, Bibione is one the most visited tourist destinations in Italy. The wide beach is one of its main and most appreciated features. The beach stretches for over 7 kilometres and is so wide as to be the ideal site to host top level well-attended beach events, such as the AeQuilibrium Beach Volley Marathon®. Bibione is the first tourist destination in Europe to get the EMAS certificate and to follow sustainable development principles. It has always been one of the favourite destinations for national and international tourism. Bibione offers memorable beach vacations, naturalistic excursions, guided tours to the neighbouring historical towns and much more. A rich network of cycling paths – mapped on Google Maps – branches out from the centre of Bibion, riding along unique naturalistic itineraries up to Lignano Sabbiadoro and to Caorle Valle Vecchia, by means of two cycle and pedestrian ferries.
