Holidays in Cavallino
Venice's beach escape where lagoon meets sea
Cavallino captures all that we love about a summer holiday: great beach life, and wonderful day trips to mix things up a bit. Beach life doesn’t get much better than this - Cavallino sits along 15 kilometers of golden sand, where the Adriatic Sea meets the gentle waters of the Venetian lagoon. You can choose from bustling, family-friendly beaches, protected nature reserves, or – of course – the spellbinding magic of Venice, a short ferry ride away.
The peninsula has developed thoughtfully, maintaining its agricultural character while offering excellent tourist facilities, which is another huge plus point for us. What sets Cavallino apart from other Adriatic resorts where we have parcs is its position between sea and lagoon, offering both lively beach activities and peaceful nature experiences.

Fun things to do in Cavallino
Beach life
The long stretch of fine sand offers plenty of space for everyone, with both fully-serviced beach establishments and watersports, to more quieter natural sections. The gently sloping shore makes it perfect for families, while active types can enjoy sailing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. The pine forest backing the beach provides welcome shade.
Lagoon discoveries
Explore the northern lagoon by boat or kayak, watching flamingos and herons in the nature reserves. Cycle along the scenic lagoon path to discover traditional fishing villages and small ports, or take boat trips to colorful Burano and historic Torcello in the Venetian archipelago.
Local flavours
The area is famous for its market gardens, supplying Venice with fresh produce. Don't miss the local specialties - freshly harvested vegetables, lagoon seafood, and wines from nearby DOC regions. The small ports offer authentic seafood restaurants, while farm shops sell local produce to take back to your holiday home and rustle up something wonderful!
Our favourite
Start with a morning cycle along the lagoon, stopping at a local farm for fresh produce. Spend the afternoon at the beach, then watch the sunset over Venice from a lagoon-side restaurant, sampling the day's catch with local wine. Perfetto!
Day trips from Cavallino
Venice is easily accessible by boat for cultural exploration. The colourful islands of Burano and Murano offer insights into traditional lace-making and glass-blowing. The historic centre of Jesolo provides shopping and nightlife if livelier options are more your family’s style.
Nature lovers shouldn't miss the Lagoon Park with its bird watching opportunities, while history, art and culture enthusiasts can’t fail to be blown away with all that Venetian splendour. The wine regions of the Veneto mainland make for excellent tasting excursions.

Peschiera
This fortified Lake Garda town offers a different take on water-based holidays, where Renaissance walls rise directly from crystal-clear waters. Like Cavallino, Peschiera excels at combining history with modern beach life, with a decidedly family-friendly focus, and plenty of excellent dining options.
Grado
This elegant resort shares Cavallino's position between sea and lagoon, though with a more historic centre and Art Nouveau character in its grand palaces and villas. Its thermal spas and archaeological sites make this a must-visit for couples.
Cambrils
This Catalan coastal town shares Cavallino's blend of beach life and working maritime traditions. Like Cavallino, it maintains its authentic character as a fishing port while offering excellent tourist facilities. It’s not called the 'Culinary Capital of the Costa Dorada' for nothing, you know!
