Ortazzo e Ortazzino, Lido di Dante
Emilia-Romagna
Between the Bevano river mouth and Lido di Dante, the Ortazzo and Ortazzino keep one of the last stretches of wild Adriatic dune, with juniper, pinewood and a brackish-to-fresh marsh full of waders and terns. A track leads to the last free-flowing river mouth on the coast and a long undeveloped beach.
