Cycling between lagoon and sea
Porto Santa Margherita is the perfect starting point for exploring the natural beauty of the area by bike. To reach Caorle, simply hop on our Caronte ferry, which connects the two banks of the Livenza River – just a few minutes of crossing time with your bike on board, and you’re ready for your next cycling adventure.
We’ve put together a selection of routes that take you through unique landscapes, where lagoon, sea, and local traditions come together.
This circular route begins in the centre of Caorle, follows the Lungomare Trieste, and then continues along Viale dei Cacciatori to the end of the Levante beach, where the Caorle lagoon meets the sea.
From there, the route continues along Via dei Casoni (a gravel road), leading to the Fishermen’s Island, which still preserves the traditional Casoni – the thatched huts once used by local fishermen.
It’s a 30-minute ride on mixed terrain that takes you deep into the maritime history of the region.
Follow the Lungomare Trieste and then take the Litoranea Veneta, which leads to the Falconera district. There, you’ll find the boarding point for the ferry to ValleVecchia – an island whose sandy coastline has remained almost untouched, thanks to one of the most extensive natural dune systems in the region.
The island is crisscrossed by numerous unpaved and sandy paths. With a suitable bike – preferably a mountain bike – you can easily complete the roughly 14 km loop. Along the way, you’ll find rest areas, wildlife observation points, and raised lookouts offering wide views over the Canale dei Lovi.

Just 3 km from Caorle lies a hidden gem of 19th-century rural architecture. Crossing the distinctive chain bridge – an old bridge that still opens by hand – you arrive in a farming village where time seems to have stood still.
This architectural complex offers a glimpse into the agricultural life of the past. Today, it is home to a renowned winery. Also worth visiting are the old water pumping station and the atmospheric Campo Procurative.
Enjoy a relaxing bike ride along the scenic, well-lit cycle path that begins in Porto Santa Margherita and leads all the way to Duna Verde. This safe and peaceful route winds through the charming area of Altanea, offering stunning sea views and the refreshing scent of pine forests.
Perfect for families, couples, and cycling enthusiasts of all ages, it’s an ideal way to experience the natural beauty of the coastline at your own pace.
