The Cavallino littoral, roughly fifteen kilometres of golden sands, pine woods, lagoon and salt marshes, which make it an ideal place for a holiday, is one of the most beautiful of the Italian beaches and it is considered the European capital of the open air life. Cavallino, known throughout Europe as the campers' kingdom, is a long, sandy peninsular where the marine and lagoon environments mingle in a remarkable equilibrium and where the luxuriant vegetation creates unforgettable images and atmosphere. More than 30 very well equipped camp sites, plus hotels, residences, bungalows flats, country houses and bed and breakfasts make Cavallino a holiday destination to meet every need.
A shallow sea laps this very long tongue of land, while a centuries-old pine forest, with vegetation consisting of Mediterranean and domestic pine together with tamarisks and Bohemian Olive trees, presents a unique vista. It is a natural paradise for those wishing to discover this singular environment on bicycle or by car.
Cavallino acts as a natural protective barrier for one of the most interesting areas of the northern Venice Lagoon, a natural environment consisting of salt marshes, reed beds, mud flats and fishponds.
The villages which dot the peninsular are small and characterful: Cavallino, Ca' Savio, Ca' Vio, Treporti, Lio Grando, Lio Piccolo are old hamlets in which you can linger, to live to the full this splendid countryside. Cavallino also plays host to large international meetings; important conventions are held in the modern Congress Centre.
