Lignano
Sabbiadoro
Famous for its wide golden sandy beaches and
crystal clear waters, Lignano Sabbiadoro is a
renowned seaside destination attracting visi-
tors from all over the world. With a relatively
recent history as a touristic location, the
town has evolved considerably over the last
century until it became the renowned sum-
mer attraction that it is today.

PINEWOOD
Famous for its natural beauty, Lignano’s Pine
Forest represents one of the most distinctive
locations of the city: a wild environment cha-
racterised by autochthonous vegetation typical
of the Adriatic coastal dunes. This landscape
has been recognised as a Site of Community
Interest and as part of the European Natura
2000 network, highlighting its crucial eco-
logical value for the whole territory.
