Active holidays in Bibione: sports events and gatherings for every taste
Bibione is the beach for sports and sports enthusiasts. Here you can have fun, work out, run or cycle along the long cycling tracks and pedestrian walkways, including the promenade which connects the lighthouse to the pinewood in Bibione: 15 km that run along the beach and sea. Those who love holidays on their bikes can cycle immersed in the nature and silence of the hinterland along numerous cycling trails which go from the Tagliamento to the lagoon, traversing spectacular landscapes.
But Bibione is also a seaside town, so water sports cannot go amiss, right? Windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, scuba-diving and swimming; if you love the sea, you can enjoy your favourite sport on your own or supported by expert instructors who will teach you how to face the waves and will teach you how to improve your technique.
What makes Bibione the true homeland of sport tourism and active holidays are the big events and tournaments that bring the beach to life every summer: exploring Bibione on foot, the Bibione Half Marathon, the Beach Volley Marathon, the Beach Fitness, the Bibione Run and the Bike Trophy are the annual events which from May through to the end of September attract tens of thousands of sports enthusiasts to the beach.
