Bibione is a seaside resort of the Venetian coast.
To know
Bibione was born as a tourist resort around the 1950s when, following important reclamation works, the area began to be populated with hotels and tourist facilities. From 1960 onwards the tourist development of the area has always been in constant growth and today Bibione is the second beach in Italy and the first in Veneto in terms of number of presences (about 6,000,000 in 2011).
Bibione has a coastline that extends for 11.5 km with an average depth of 400 meters, characterized by fine and soft sand and dominated by modern and well-equipped bathing establishments.
Geographical notes
Bibione is an island, surrounded by the Tagliamento river to the east, the Lugugnana canal to the north and the Litoranea Veneta to the west, and overlooking the Adriatic Sea. At the northern end we find the Val Grande Natural Park, a lagoon area of low salinity waters where the extensive breeding of some species of fish such as eel, sea bream and sea bass is practiced. To the east, at the Punta Tagliamento lighthouse, we find the mouth of the Tagliamento river, and a vast area of woods and prairies among the dunes. To the west we find Porto Baseleghe, on the Lovi Lagoon.
When to go
The season begins with the month of April and continues until the end of September. These are the months in which the greatest number of events and demonstrations are concentrated. The months of July and August are those in which the concentration of tourists is highest, while in June and September it is possible to enjoy all the best of the resort away from the masses.
Bibione is also an important spa center and the spas are open all year round as well as many hotels that allow you to enjoy a wellness stay even in low season or winter.
Background
Although it is a young town, Bibione has a history that begins in the first centuries AD. when the Romans began the first reclamation works in the area. With the decline of the Roman Empire and the affirmation of Christianity, Bibione first passed under the influence of the bishops of Concordia Sagittaria and then under the dominion of the "Serenissima". Right under the Venetian rule, Bibione experienced a period of abandonment and neglect and its lands returned to fishermen and wild animals.
Between the end of the 1700s and the early 1800s, Bibione changed hands between the French and the Austrians, until it became part of the Lombard-Veneto Kingdom constituted byAustria with the treaty of Vienna to then join, from 1866, to the neighboring Kingdom of Italy.
Precisely with the annexation to the Kingdom ofItaly the reclamation works that will bring Bibione, at the dawn of 1950, to establish itself as a holiday and tourism destination resume.
How to orient yourself

Bibione Lido dei Pini is the most characteristic area in which tourism development has gone hand in hand with the protection of an environment in which the pine forest is still the undisputed queen and its vegetation in some areas extends to the beach and the sea. An excellent example of eco-tourism.
Bibione Spiaggia is what can be considered as the center of Bibione with shops, restaurants and clubs. Bibione Lido del Sole is the spa area, quieter and less crowded, while Bibione Pineda is the area dominated by campsites and villages and where lovers of boat holidays can find the dock.
