Caorle, an authentic pearl of the Upper Adriatic, is an enchanting fishing village that captivates at first glance with its bright colors, millennia-old history and a sea that seems to be painted.
Caorle
The old town, with its narrow streets, quiet squares and small houses painted in pastel shades of pink, blue and yellow, is a little Venice without canals, where getting lost is a pleasure. On the waterfront, the famous Scogliera Viva – dozens of boulders sculpted each year by international artists – turns the promenade into an open-air art gallery, overlooking the waves.
Dominating the skyline is the iconic 11th-century cylindrical bell tower, next to the majestic St. Stephen’s Cathedral, a Romanesque-Byzantine jewel with its precious golden altar and treasure museum. Two very long beaches of fine golden sand, Levante and Ponente, both awarded the Blue Flag each year for the quality of their water and services, offer space for everyone: families with children, couples seeking relaxation or sportsmen who enjoy beach volleyball, sup and sailing. Behind, the picturesque lagoon with characteristic fishermen’s cottages on the casoni, fiery sunsets and boat or bicycle excursions among herons and flamingos. Just 50 minutes from Venice and 40 from Jesolo, Caorle is the perfect place for those who want an authentic, slow-paced vacation full of beauty, far from the crowds but with everything at their fingertips.
Beach
The Ponente beach in Caorle is a long carpet of fine golden sand stretching for more than 4 km, always awarded Blue Flag for its crystal clear sea and impeccable services.Shallow and warm water, ideal for children, gently sloping seabed, welcoming establishments with well-spaced umbrellas and plenty of free space for those who love “wild” sunbathing.In the morning the sun caresses, at sunset pink and orange reflections that look like paintings. And when the breeze blows, the scent of salt spray and the sound of the waves are the perfect soundtrack to your vacation.
