As well as enjoying its beaches, Bibione presents unique opportunities to explore the natural environment all around the resort.

Water-based activities
Bibione is famous for its range of water-based activities, which are always exciting and great fun for children. If you want your kids to spend a few enjoyable hours getting some exercise, you could hire a pedalo or a kayak on the beach.

There are a number of places on the beach where you can hire equipment and find expert instructors. They’re bound to fall into the water plenty of times at the start, but as soon as they learn to stay up on the board they’ll feel like real stars! If your children want to have an amazing time racing down slides and diving into big pools, there’s no better place for a day out than AquaSplash water park in Lignano Sabbiadoro, which is just a few kilometres from Bibione. The friendly staff are always happy to help and it’s full of thrilling attractions. Good times are guaranteed during the afternoon party starting at 4:00 pm, when the big pool with a wave machine turns into a night club.
