In the heart of Romagna, Bellaria Igea Marina
Situated in the heart of the Riviera Romagnola, it is a tourist attraction with a centuries-old tradition.
Bellaria Igea Marina has in recent years committed itself to protecting the environment and to preserving the natural balance between relaxation and fun.
A great example is the Isola dei Platani in the city centre.
An exclusively pedestrian area, this is the commercial heart of Bellaria, with a wide variety of shops, stores and services.
Everywhere, flowerbeds and precious vegetation: the most attractive urban furnishing of the whole Riviera.
Seven kilometres of fine white sandy beach
The sea has been for centuries the main character in the history of Bellaria Igea Marina. Here, the sea has been setting the pace since medieval times, when the fishermen hamlet needed to defend itself from the raids of the Saracen pirates. Still today, the sea plays an important role in the life of the boatmen repairing their punts, the fishermen cleaning and disentangling their nets, and fishmonger ladies shouting their traditional call whilst riding their bicycle.
Only at the beginning of the last century, the ‘spa fashion’ helped spreading the news of the well appreciated therapeutic virtues of the water and the air of Bellaria Igea Marina, together with descriptions of the charm of the village.
And the sea became synonym of distraction, amusement, sports, and regeneration.
