  • Ride the little green electric train ('Trenino') for a fun way to reach neighboring Bellaria center.

Igea Marina is an appealing coastal town on the Adriatic Sea in the Emilia-Romagna region. Together with neighboring Bellaria, it gives a quieter, more family-friendly alternative to the bustling city of Rimini. The town's fine sandy beaches and gently sloping, shallow waters are convenient for families with young children, while the pine-lined promenades provide pleasant shade on hot summer days. The coastline is home to excellently equipped beaches (bagni) providing every comfort imaginable. Visitors can soak up the sun at popular spots like Kokobay 74/75, Bagno Eden 76, or Spiaggia Afrika Bagno 77/78/79. Other great choices for beachgoers include Spiaggia Hotel Elios, Solaria Beach 80 to 86, as well as Bagno 65 and Marinaio 70. Those looking for a more familiar, traditional atmosphere will find it at Bagno Romano 73, Bagno Lido 72, Bagno Mario 71, Bagno Renzo 69, and Bagno Marco 66/67, where playgrounds and sports facilities await guests. Beyond beach activities, the town's gastronomy is truly impressive. Local restaurants and taverns offer freshly caught seafood, the famous local flatbread called piadina, and excellent Italian wines. Relaxation is made complete by the beautiful Parco del Gelso, which is the well-suited location for an afternoon stroll with its lush vegetation and small lake. Igea Marina is a truly welcoming and pristine vacation destination.
