The Romagna Riviera is Italy's most organised beach destination: more than 100 km of continuous sandy shore from Cattolica to Lido di Comacchio, with a century-long tradition of seaside hospitality, excellent cycling infrastructure and water quality that has improved dramatically over two decades of investment in wastewater treatment. Blue Flag certification here reflects a genuine transformation — from the algae-prone Adriatic of the 1980s to a coast whose water quality now rivals Croatia and Slovenia.
In 2026, Emilia-Romagna has 11 Blue Flag municipalities across 4 provinces: about 4% of the 257 awarded in Italy. In 2025 there were 10: +1 this year.
