Eraclea Mare: Beach, Pine Forest and Lagoon Paths

Eraclea Mare combines sea, sand and pine forest into a single natural coastal landscape. The equipped beach is ideal for swimming and relaxation by the sea; at the same time, the coastal cycle path, pine forest and Laguna del Mort open up a landscape that can be experienced on foot, by bicycle, on horseback and by boat.

Beach and Pine Forest as the Character of the Resort

In Eraclea Mare, the beach is not merely a geographical reference point, but a specifically equipped area for relaxation by the sea. The pine forest complements this coastal landscape. It contains a fitness trail with exercise equipment, allowing a stay in the resort to be extended with sporting activity in the forest. The combination of sand, sea and pine forest shapes the character of Eraclea Mare more strongly than any single excursion destination.

The Laguna del Mort offers a special opportunity for observing nature. During bird migration, little egrets, cormorants, terns and little grebes stop there to rest. The SIC area “Laguna del Mort e Pineta di Eraclea”, with the code IT3250013, lies in the southern part of the Eraclea area, in Eraclea Mare. The lagoon and pine forest are therefore among the named landscapes that you can take into account when choosing where to stay in Eraclea Mare.

Paths at Laguna del Mort and along the Coast

The circular trail at Laguna del Mort is suitable for a walk. It is flat, approximately 6.5 kilometres long and suitable for participants aged six and over. The trail is also offered as an Eco-Wellness walk. In this format, targeted exercises are combined with explanations of natural, historical and cultural aspects. This type of trail differs from a purely circular route because, in addition to the path, guided exercises and explanations are provided.

The coastal cycle path offers views of the Adriatic and direct access to the beaches. For longer cycling tours, the official stage leads to Eraclea Mare after following the Piave to its mouth at Cortellazzo. In addition, Veneto by bicycle’s “Seaside Routes” pass through Eraclea Mare in stage 3.4, entitled “Cavallino Treporti–Jesolo–Eraclea–Caorle”.

Arrival and Maritime Orientation

For arriving, the railway stations of Mestre and San Donà di Piave are relevant starting points: both are connected to Eraclea by an ATVO bus service. On site, the Mariclea Club provides another point of reference to the coast. It is a marina on the coast of Eraclea Mare with direct access to the sea.

A Local Flavour from the Municipality of Eraclea

The cuisine of the municipality is also part of the local context. Traditional dishes of the municipality of Eraclea include lagoon shrimp, locally known as “schie”. This clearly identified local speciality complements the landscape and trail experiences that you can discover around accommodation in Eraclea Mare.
