Lignano Marina

Tucked where the Tagliamento River meets the Adriatic, this small harbour in Lignano Sabbiadoro is a low-key spot for motorboats on the Friuli Venezia Giulia coast. It's got that unhurried northern Italian seaside feel — sandy beaches nearby, the resort town of Lignano Sabbiadoro within easy reach, and the A4 Venice-Trieste motorway just 20 km away if you're heading inland toward Udine.
