È indubbio che Bibione sia soprattutto conosciuta per le vacanze balneari ma la località veneta offre anche altri spunti di attrazione. Vediamo cosa fare nella località blasonata della riviera veneta.
The Sea of Bibione
Bibione is one of the most appealing destinations for those seeking a beach holiday. The flow of tourists to the Venetian town is second only to more famous seaside resorts like Rimini. It is estimated that in 2009 around 6 million tourists arrived on the beaches of the Venetian town. Bibione is a seaside resort that originated around the 1950s and has a rather unique location. It is an island surrounded by the Tagliamento River, which also partly gives its name to the municipality it belongs to. Bibione is also bordered by the Lugugnana Canal and the Venetian Coast Road. It therefore overlooks the Adriatic Sea and features wide sandy beaches and shallow seabeds.
The bike paths
Thanks to the construction of several bike paths, Bibione is ideal for two-wheel enthusiasts. By bike, it is possible to admire the picturesque landscape that winds between the lagoon, the green pine forests, and the fishing valleys. The alternative to biking is walking, horseback riding, or, for those who love an even more active holiday, kayaking routes.
The smoke-free beaches
On the shorelines of the beaches of Bibione, smoking has been prohibited for several years. A healthy initiative also considering the many children who are used to playing by the sea. But not only that. The initiative is among those supporting non-smokers but also the environment itself, to preserve the nature of Bibione. The “off limits” area is indicated on signs specially placed.
Pluto’s Beach
Bibione is a “pet friendly” location, not only for the wide availability of hotels that welcome pets, but also for the presence of a perfect and equipped stretch of beach specifically for dogs. Here is the Pluto’s Beach, characterized by umbrellas equipped with leash holders. Four-legged friends also have plenty of space dedicated to them between the umbrellas. Additionally, there are low freshwater showers to clean the dog’s fur, and access to the use of deck chairs, loungers, leashes, bowls, running water, and sanitary bags. The water area of Pluto’s Beach is available for dogs, and the hygiene of the beach and the sand is carefully maintained with specific veterinary products. Clean, spacious, and well-equipped, Pluto’s Beach is the ideal place to spend beach holidays in the company of your faithful four-legged friend.
The Bibione Thermal Baths
Bibione, since the 1990s, has offered significant thermal spa services. Mud balneotherapy is one of the most recommended treatments, but the Bibione thermal baths are also ideal for vascular rehabilitation and inhalations. The Bibione thermal baths also offer other treatments such as chromotherapy and hydromassage, and they are affiliated with the National Health Service.
The Punta Tagliamento Lighthouse
Located east of Bibione, the Punta Tagliamento lighthouse is an ideal destination for hiking and horseback riding enthusiasts, for lovers of two wheels, and for all those seeking naturalistic dives. Built in the early 20th century, when the beach was more advanced, the Punta Tagliamento lighthouse features a 21-meter cylindrical tower, making it visible up to about 15 miles from the coast. Due to coastal erosion, breakwater embankments have been constructed around the lighthouse. During the First World War the lighthouse was bombed but was immediately rebuilt.
Where to stay in Bibione
Bibione offers a very rich catalog of accommodations. In particular, in the Venetian seaside resort, there are hotels, holiday homes, apartments, and B&Bs. The hotel and extra-hotel offer, such as the one proposed by agenzia Serena, suits all budgets and needs. You can thus opt for the greater freedom of a holiday home or apartment up to an all inclusive hotel offer.
