Lido Del Sole: Beach, Sports and Excursions

Lido del Sole combines beach days with water sports, cycling and excursions. The Lido Blu Marine, located in the town, is a specific starting point for several of these activities. The central square and the Church of Santa Maria Assunta add local history and remembrance to your stay.

Beaches and activities by the sea

The beaches of Lido del Sole have fine golden sand and shallow waters. On the beach at Lido Blu Marine, a designated play area for children is located next to Caffè Blu. The facility may be available seasonally.

Lido Blu Marine offers group lessons in windsurfing, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding and catamaran sailing. Windsurfing courses are divided into four levels. These four levels apply to windsurfing; the other activities mentioned are group lessons in their respective sports. If you are planning lessons or another activity, check dates and availability in advance, as activities may be seasonal.

Cycle paths and tours in the surrounding area

The Centro Bike at Lido Blu Marine is a few steps from two major cycle paths. They follow the coast between Foce Varano to the west and Rodi Garganico to the east. Bikes can be rented for a single day or for a longer period. This lets you tailor the rental period to your travel plans.

An organised e-bike tour goes to Lake Varano and starts at the beach facility at Lido Blu Marine. The tour includes the opportunity to make cheese yourself at Masseria Fratelli Giordano and sample its products. This combines a ride with an insight into cheesemaking and a tasting. This tour may also be available seasonally, so you should check dates in advance.

Another excursion option is a trip to the Tremiti Islands: Lido Blu Marine organises daily excursions in collaboration with Verga Nautic Jet, departing directly from the beach. Unlike the cycling tour, this excursion focuses on the trip to the islands. Departure arrangements and availability may vary by season, so it is helpful to check the current dates before travelling.

Local history and connection to nature

The central square of Lido del Sole is officially named “Piazza Giovanni Panunzio, testimone di coraggio”. It is a permanent place dedicated to legality: here, remembrance becomes civic education and collective responsibility. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Lido del Sole was built through the efforts of the priest don Matteo Troiano. The square and church thus give your stay a connection to the town’s history and public life.

As a natural point of interest, the Torrente Romandato forms part of the coastal landscape: it flows into the sea at Punta Cucchiara, on the coast between Rodi Garganico and Lido del Sole. This is a different point of reference from the beach activities in town and provides useful geographical orientation if you are exploring the coastal landscape.

Plan a stay that suits you

These are different ways to experience Lido del Sole, and each calls for a different kind of planning. For seasonal activities, it is worth checking dates and availability in advance. That way, you can plan your stay around the activities that matter most to you.
