Veneto's Blue Flag Beaches 2026: From Bibione to the Po Delta

In Veneto, 2026 sees 9 municipalities awarded the Blue Flag, the international recognition the FEE grants each year to destinations that meet strict criteria for bathing water quality, environmental management, services and safety. Veneto stretches for roughly 160 km of coastline, from the mouth of the Tagliamento river down to the Po Delta, and this year it counts 9 Blue Flag municipalities: 7 in the province of Venice and 2 in Rovigo. The shoreline is almost entirely sandy, dotted with lagoons and coastal pine forests, and it holds the largest concentration of beach clubs and campsites anywhere in Italy.

Where Veneto's Blue Flag beaches are

The 9 award-winning municipalities break down by province like this:

Rovigo	2

The northern coast: from the Tagliamento to Caorle

Veneto's easternmost strip of coast opens with San Michele al Tagliamento, whose Bibione shoreline runs for over 8 km all the way to the mouth of the Tagliamento river. A little further west, Caorle pairs its town beachfront — with a historic center famously shaped like a seashell — with the Valle Vecchia nature reserve, one of the last undeveloped coastal wetlands left in the region.

Jesolo and Eraclea: the tourist heart of the coast

Moving toward the Venice lagoon, you'll find Eraclea, where the Eraclea Mare beach sits between the mouths of the Piave river and the Revedoli canal, and Jesolo, Veneto's best-known seaside resort with about 15 km of unbroken beach and one of the longest pedestrian seafront promenades on the Adriatic.

The Venice lagoon: Cavallino-Treporti, Venice and Chioggia

The stretch of coast that closes off the Venice lagoon includes Cavallino Treporti, home to one of the longest continuous beaches in Europe (around 13 km) and the highest density of campsites on the continent; Venezia, whose Lido beach faces the open Adriatic just a short vaporetto ride from St Mark's Square; and Chioggia, with the Sottomarina beach at the southern edge of the lagoon.

The Po Delta: Rosolina and Porto Tolle

At the region's southern tip, already within the Veneto Po Delta Regional Park, lie Rosolina, where the Rosolina Mare beach sits wedged between pine forest and canals, and Porto Tolle, the largest municipality in the province of Rovigo, whose beaches — Barricata among them — look out directly onto the final branches of the Po river.
