Pet-friendly beaches in Emilia Romagna

If you have chosen Comacchio and its amazing 7 beaches as your summer holidays destination and you are going to take your pet with you, here are listed the municipal beaches where you can go with it:

• Lido di Volano: it is between the seaside resorts Bagno Franco and Bagno New Age, the piece of free beach is 30mt large and 25mt long.
• Lido Delle Nazioni: there is a slice of free beach, privately owned, adjacent to the Bamboo Bath, with a seafront width of about 30 meters and depth of about 50 meters;
• Porto Garibaldi: it is located South of the residence Park Emilio. The piece of free beach is 30mt large and 50mt long. It is the only beach in Comacchio and surroundings where pets can bathe;
• Lido Degli Estensi: this piece of free beach is adjacent to the seaside resort Blue Moon, it is 30mt large and 100mt long.
• Lido di Spina: the free beach is on the left side of the Police beach resort. The piece of beach here is 30mt large and 50mt long.

For further information on times, prohibitions and permits, we advise you to read the decree no. 23 of 14/05/2019 and the brochure “Vacanze a 4 Zampe” in order to avoid bad surprises.

From Comacchio, let’s move southwards, in the Byzantine Capital. In Ravenna, the free beaches where your pets are allowed are:

• Casal Borsetti: south of the seaside resort Overbeach, in a 70mt-large slice of beach;
• Casal Borsetti / Marina Romea: a 100m-long stretch of public beach between the camping villages Reno and Romea;
• Marina di Ravenna: an 80m-long stretch of public beach, close to the south north of the Ruvido establishment;
• Lido Adriano: an 80m-long stretch of public beach north to the seaside resort Oasi;
• Lido Adriano: an 80m-long stretch
• Lido Di Classe: near the Mouth of River Savio, in the piece of free 60mt-large beach north of the cliff.
• Lido Di Savio: a 40m-long stretch of public beach, south of the cliff at the mouth of the river Savio

In both these places, pets can bathe in the mirror of water right in front of the pet-friendly piece of beach stretch. It is preferable keeping dogs out of the water in the central hours of the day, indicatively from 11.30am to 2.30pm.

Also in this case, in order to avoid bad surprises or misunderstandings, we refer to the decree no. 866 of 04/06/2019 and check also the page “On holiday with your dog“.

In Cervia and Milano Marittima, according to the law, access to beaches have always been forbidden to any animal, except for lifeguard dogs or guide dogs for the blinds.

However, from 6am to 8am and from 9.30pm to 12am, dogs can access to the beach from the beach walkways and are allowed both on the shore and in the water. Again, just to be sure, give a look to the decree n0. 106.

As in Cervia, in Cesenatico are fixed hours to respect, from 6am to 8am and from 8pm to 12am dogs are allowed on the beach. In this case, though, admission and bathing is allowed exclusively in the free beaches:

• In the piece of beach in front of the so-called ‘Zona Cesarini’, in Villamarina;
• In the so-called ‘Spiaggia Dei Diamanti’ in the district Boschetto;
• In the piece of beach adjacent to Piazza Spose dei Marinai, in the area called Ponente;
• In the free beach in Valverde, in the piece of beach between Fincarducci and Eurohotel;
• In the piece of free beach between the canal Tagliata and the seaside resort Camping Cesenatico, in Zadina

As already said above, here the decree of 30/05/2019 to check for all the information.

Something has changed also here. These two capital cities of tourism boast coasts with well-equipped seaside resorts and some of them allow now dogs on the beach: our 4-legged friends can have finally a swim in the mirror of the water overlooking some of these seaside resorts
Although access is allowed during specific hours and periods, there are ever fewer prohibitions that have always restricted an amusing and refreshing bath with our pets.
As mentioned before, there are several rules to follow and respect as written in the decrees Ordinanza 2/2019 as concerns the beaches in Rimini and Ordinanza n.3 for Riccione.

In Rimini, the animals can access to sea only from 6am to 8pm or in the evening hours from 7pm (and no longer at 7.30pm as last year) until 9pm. In Riccione, on the other hand, it will be possible, on an experimental basis, to bathe in the sea from 6am to 7.30am and from 7pm until sunset in the three beaches between the bathing establishments no. 51 and 52; in the stretch of free beach included between the bathing establishments no. 77 and 78; and in the free beach included between the bathing establishments no. 132 and 134.
