Punta Marina: Beach, Pine Forest and Coastal Trails

Anyone looking for a hotel in Punta Marina can choose from a coastal resort with several distinct highlights. Punta Marina Terme has a golden beach, along with the Pineta di Punta Marina, with its network of trails, and the Pialassa dei Piomboni wetland. To help you decide, consider whether you want to focus your stay mainly on the beach, walks in the coastal pine forest, or an interest in the protected coastal landscape.

Beach and Coastal Landscape

The golden beach defines this open stretch of coast. The Pineta di Punta Marina offers a different landscape: it is a long, lush coastal pine forest and part of the Parco del Delta del Po. The beach and the pine forest can therefore be seen as two distinct highlights—the open coast and the wooded coastal area. When planning your stay, consider whether the beach or the pine forest should be a focus of your trip.

The Pialassa dei Piomboni, Pineta di Punta Marina Natura 2000 site lies between Marina di Ravenna and Punta Marina. It includes the Pialassa dei Piomboni wetland, the coastal pine forest between the Pialassa and the sea, a stretch of coast with remnants of active dunes, the beach, and the sea extending about 250 metres offshore. The protected landscape thus extends from wetland and forest to beach and sea. The figure of about 250 metres refers to the length of the offshore marine area, not the size of the entire site.

Trails and Activities by the Sea

The trail network in the Pineta di Punta Marina is used year-round by runners and walkers. If you enjoy getting around on foot, the coastal pine forest offers a different focus from the open beach: here, running and walking take centre stage. Its year-round use makes the trails a specific reason to consider the pine forest when choosing where to stay, even outside the summer travel season.

There are also other options for beach activities. Punta Marina Terme has facilities for beach volleyball and is a destination for kitesurfing enthusiasts. Beach sports and kitesurfing therefore offer different interests to consider alongside the trails in the coastal pine forest when planning your trip.
