Lido Di Volano – Discover the Beach, Po Delta and Nature

Lido di Volano combines a wide, peaceful beach with coastal dunes, pine forest and the landscapes of the Po Delta. Coastal dunes are visible from the beach, while the view stretches across the Sacca di Goro and the Po Delta. Those planning a trip combining the sea, nature watching and active excursions will find several different ways to spend their days here.

Beach, Pine Forest and Wetlands

Behind Lido di Volano beach lies a pine forest covering approximately 169 hectares, which forms part of the Po di Volano State Nature Reserve. The pine forest borders Lago delle Nazioni and Lido di Volano to the west. This brings together beach, forest and waterscapes in one place, without requiring you to limit yourself to just one type of holiday.

The wetlands at the mouth of the Po di Volano also contribute to the area’s distinctive natural landscape. Purple herons, grey herons and little egrets can be found there. This contrast may be interesting when planning your trip: a day at the beach can be combined with a view of the estuary landscape or with exploring nature. A chapel dedicated to Saint John Gualbert also stands in a pine forest in Lido di Volano.

Excursions on Foot and by Bicycle

The excursion to the Foce del Po di Volano Nature Reserve begins at Lido di Volano beach. It follows coastal pine-forest paths along the Scannone di Volano. This scenic headland between the sea and the pine forest can be explored on foot. This offers an opportunity to experience the coast not only from the beach, but also to immerse yourself in the landscape between the sea and the forest.

For cycling tours, the “Il Parco e il Mare” route continues behind Lido di Volano to the small Cannevié-Porticino oasis. After Lido di Volano, the route also reaches a combined cycle and pedestrian path in the Gran Bosco della Mesola. If you value excursions through changing landscapes when choosing your holiday apartment, these routes can be an important part of your planning. Lido di Volano also has a charging station for e-bikes.

Sea, Wind and Maritime Orientation

Lido di Volano is considered a suitable location for sports such as kitesurfing because of its frequently windy sea. The modern marina lies near the bridge over the Volano and adds a maritime focal point to the coastal town. Those wishing to alternate between peaceful moments on the beach, nature trails, cycling tours and water sports when planning their trip can consider Lido di Volano as a base for these different interests.

Between Bagno Franco and Bagno New Age, there is a designated pet-friendly free beach section. It has 30 metres of shoreline and is 25 metres deep. For a trip with a pet, this specific beach information is particularly relevant when choosing accommodation and planning your days. When looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Lido di Volano, you can therefore initially base your search on the desired combination of beach, nature trails, cycling routes and maritime surroundings, without attributing unverified features to the accommodation itself.
