Lido di Dante, Ravenna
Emilia-Romagna
Lido di Dante south of Ravenna is one of the few remaining natural beaches on the Emilia-Romagna Adriatic coast — backed by the ancient Pineta di Classe (the pine forest Dante described in Paradiso). Little tern nests on the beach. Loggerhead turtle nesting occasionally. No beach clubs, no concessions — natural dunes and maritime pine. Dogs welcome year-round. Ravenna's Byzantine mosaics 10 km away.
