During Spring Lignano Sabbiadoro blooms like a flower
Spring in Lignano is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and be amazed by nature, the sea, and authentic experiences. Less crowded than summer, the town truly shines in this season: bright days, mild temperatures, upcoming events, and services already available.
Here’s what you shouldn't miss between May and June!
🚲 Cycling between sea, pinewood and lagoon
Cycling in Lignano is a relaxing and scenic experience, ideal for families, sports lovers and bike tourists.
Our tip? Start from the Sabbiadoro seafront and follow the scenic Lungolaguna trail, then enter the pine forest and ride through the shaded areas of Hemingway Park, continuing all the way to Lignano Riviera. From there, you can either follow the Tagliamento River Cycle Path or hop aboard the X River bike and pedestrian ferry to cross over to Bibione.

🌅 Sunrise on the beach: a moment to remember
The Red Lighthouse, at the end of the long wooden pier on the tip of Lignano facing the Isola della Marinetta, is one of the town’s most iconic and photographed spots. The pier is currently partially closed due to storm damage, but its charm is still very much alive.
Whether you choose the lighthouse beach or another stretch of shoreline, early mornings — when the beach is empty and the sea is still — offer one of the most magical sights: the sunrise over the Adriatic.
Bring a beach towel, sit back, and enjoy the silence and changing light.
🛥️🌾 Boating through fishing huts and reeds
The Marano Lagoon is a fascinating ecosystem made up of calm waters, small islands, migratory birds, and traditional “casoni” — wooden and reed fishermen’s huts.
While boat tours are available year-round, spring offers the most pleasant conditions with sunny yet cool and breezy days.
Don’t miss the hidden gem at the Stella River mouth: La Bilancia di Bepi, a fishing platform with a giant traditional net and a rich history that links back to writer Ernest Hemingway. From here, you can go on canoe or SUP tours and enjoy freshly caught and fried lagoon fish.

🍝 Flavours of the season: between sea and land
Spring is a time of culinary awakening: wild herbs, asparagus, cuttlefish, shellfish, and blue fish...
Restaurants and local spots offer seasonal menus that highlight the region’s rich produce.
Enjoy a seafront lunch in central Sabbiadoro, a romantic dinner by the Tagliamento River, or a wine tasting at one of the many local wineries producing DOC Friulian wines.

🏖️ A beach all to yourself
Lignano’s golden beach is ready to welcome you from early May. Beach clubs are already open, offering umbrellas, sunbeds, relaxation areas, beach bars, and dedicated zones for children and sports lovers.
Spring means more space, peace and quiet: read a book by the sea, walk barefoot along the shore, or join a beachfront yoga class.
🎉 Bonus: events and guided tours
Spring is also the perfect time to join events and outdoor activities: from the first races like the Over Borders Half Marathon, to bike excursions and food & wine festivals like Friuli Doc Spring Edition.
Our event calendar is constantly growing.
