Discover Lido Di Classe: Beach, Nature and Events

The beach area of Lido Di Classe stretches between the Pineta di Classe pine forest and the mouth of the River Savio. Lido Di Classe is one of Ravenna’s nine beaches. When planning your trip, the coast and nature offer different options, complemented by sports activities and seasonal cultural events.

Beach, Pets and Sports

If you’re travelling with pets, there is a dedicated section of the free beach. Most beach clubs have courts for beach tennis, beach volleyball, basketball and beach soccer; facilities may vary by venue. Beach clubs also organise tournaments at different levels, although the sports programme may vary by season. If a particular court or tournament is important to your stay, check what the beach club offers and confirm the dates in advance.

Pineta and Foce del Bevano

The Pineta di Classe is designated under Natura 2000 both as a Site of Community Importance and as a Special Protection Area. It has rest areas and observation points for wetlands and local birdlife. Hiking, cycling and horse-riding trails in the pine forest can be reached from Lido Di Classe; the pine forest itself is also accessible on foot or by bicycle.

Nearby, Foce del Bevano is suitable for birdwatching and general nature observation; it can be reached on foot or by mountain bike. Access restrictions vary by season. During sensitive periods, access to the river mouth may be restricted or completely closed. Check the access conditions before setting out, especially if this trip is a fixed part of your plans.

If you’re choosing between the natural areas, the options also differ: from Lido Di Classe, hiking, cycling and horse-riding trails are accessible in the pine forest; Foce del Bevano can be reached on foot or by mountain bike. Foce del Bevano is also subject to seasonal access restrictions.

Summer Events and Practical Information
