Landscape and nature in Eraclea Mare

Why is Eraclea Mare one of the most loved beaches in the Venetian lagoon? There are so many reasons, and the answer might be simpler if we asked ourselves why it shouldn't be?

Called “the pearl of the upper Adriatic", Eraclea Mare has a wonderful perfume made up of over three thousand pines that embellish the sandy coast.

The beach also boasts lots of vegetation amongst the sand dunes you can find many species of tamarisk that together with the pine trees make it the greenest beach on the coast.

The Pineta of Eraclea or pinewood forest

But the beautiful and lush pine forest of Eraclea Mare was not created by pure chance: about a century ago, in fact, ​Marco Aurelio Pasti, founder of the city, personally procured the pine nuts of the maritime pines from the coast of Ravenna and had them sown in the town of Eraclea.

Right there, near the beach, the lush pine forest that we can admire today and that we can consider one of the city's flagships came to life.

The open umbrella pines create an ​evocative shadow effect ​and promote a natural shady and cool habitat not only for numerous plant species, but also for squirrels that, with a little luck, can be found in the pine forest.

Services and activities

The pineta of Eraclea Mare, as well as being beautiful in an aesthetic way is also perfect for those looking for a place to relax as well as offering great sporting activities. We can find many picnic tables inside, where you can have lunch together with your family, sheltering them from the sun in the hottest hours.

  • There are many grassy patches amongst the trees that offer shade for those wanting to lie down on their towels to rest
  • In the pineta near the beach there are play areas for children
  • The pineta of Eraclea Mare offer numerous cycle/pedestrian paths and routes to enjoy walking, jogging or cycling.

What are the advantages of staying in the pineta?

Most of our properties are immersed in the pineta, making them the perfect choice for families.

Staying in the pineta, surrounded by pine trees offers open space and freedom, being away from the main roads and traffic children are free to play, giving you peace of mind. Our properties in the pineta are very close to the sea, all you need to do is just follow one of the many paths through the vegetation to get you to the beach.

Renting an apartment or bungalow in the pineta means quiet and relaxation, no loud music blaring out or traffic noise to disturb you whilst you are relaxing with your children.
