Camping with dog in Cavallino-Treporti

The pet-friendly municipality boasts several dog bathing areas where pet owners can cool off in the sea with their four-legged friends. Dogs can romp around with other dogs in the free-range zones and enjoy the fresh breeze just as much as two-legged holidaymakers. Not only the kilometres of coastline, but also the hinterland with its dense pine forests and picturesque canals invite you to go for a walk.

Top tips

• Several dog beaches make the coast of Cavallino-Treporti one of the most pet-friendly holiday regions in Italy. Guests can swim with their four-legged friends at Punta Sabboni, where there is an 80 metre long dog beach starting from Lungomare Dante Alighieri. From Via Retrone, you can reach Ca Savio with bathing facilities for four-legged friends. Many campsites also have their own dog bathing beaches where your pet can let off steam and cool off.
• A dog-friendly campsite is an excellent starting point for exploring the unique lagoon landscape at the gates of Cavallino together with your canine companion. The landscape of the peninsula between Jesolo and Venice is characterised by the sea and waterways and is ideal for long walks with your four-legged friend.

Activities and excursions

A dog-friendly campsite is an ideal starting point for hikes through the pine forests and along the canals around Cavallino. There are also cultural excursion destinations in the surrounding area.

Actively discover the holiday region: Hikes through unique natural landscapes

The scenic hinterland of Cavallino-Treporti is perfect for hiking. Here you can walk through surprisingly dense vegetation with cool pine forests towards the nearby salt marshes. Nature lovers will discover rare orchids along the way. Several well-signposted hiking and cycling trails lead through the fascinating landscape, including the 8.5-kilometre tour of the Three Waters. This takes adventurous holidaymakers and their four-legged companions from the north of the lagoon along the River Sile to the estuary. Along the way, you can admire the fishermen's pile dwellings and the lighthouse.

Follow in the footsteps of the past in idyllic villages

On walks with your dog along the coast, numerous picturesque little villages in the middle of the unique lagoon landscape around Cavallino are waiting to be discovered. The small municipality of Lio Piccolo, for example, invites you to visit cultural sights such as the Palazzetto Boldù or the 17th century church of Santa Maria della Neve. The uncovered mosaic floors and several archaeological excavations, which can be explored on a stroll through the alleyways with your four-legged friend, also bear witness to the village's ancient past.

Regional produce and local fruit and vegetables are on sale at the stalls in Ca' Savio, Cavallino and Treporti several days a week throughout the year.
