The beaches of Grado: a complete guide to your holiday
The Main Beach (GIT)
The main beach is the heart of Grado’s seaside life. Here you’ll find well-organised beach clubs, children’s play areas, refreshment points, toilet facilities and designated areas for relaxation and for your four-legged friends. The fine sand and shallow waters make it particularly suitable for families.
During the summer season, the beach also hosts sports activities, entertainment and fun events for adults and children.
Thanks to its central location, it is easily accessible on foot from our accommodation in just 6 minutes and is one of the most popular areas in the resort.
Côte d’Azur: tranquillity and views
For those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere, the Côte d’Azur offers a great alternative, just an 11-minute walk from our accommodation.
Situated in the eastern part of the island, this area is characterised by a quieter atmosphere and stunning views of the lagoon. It is particularly popular with those wishing to get away from the busier areas.
Sunset strolls along this stretch of coastline offer picturesque views and moments of great tranquillity.
Pineta Beach
Surrounded by greenery, Pineta Beach is one of the most popular spots for guests seeking a relaxing holiday.
The surrounding vegetation provides pleasant natural shade and creates a particularly pleasant atmosphere, even on the hottest days.
Pineta is often chosen by guests staying for several days who wish to alternate time at the beach with moments of relaxation away from the hustle and bustle.
Al Bosco/Città Giardino Beach
Nestled between the Main Beach and Pineta Beach, Al Bosco is one of Grado’s quietest beaches, ideal for those who wish to enjoy the sea in a relaxing, natural setting. Behind the sandy beach lies a lush strip of trees providing ample shade, perfect for cooling off on summer days, organising a picnic or taking a break away from the hustle and bustle.
The beach is particularly popular with families thanks to its shallow, gently sloping seabed, which allows children to play and swim safely. Those who prefer to swim in deeper waters can easily reach them by crossing the characteristic sandbanks that characterise this stretch of coastline.
A substantial part of the beach is managed by Campeggio Al Bosco, but the beach is also accessible to those not staying at the campsite: pedestrian access is free of charge, allowing everyone to enjoy this stretch of coastline surrounded by greenery.
Sport and outdoor activities
Grado’s beaches are not just synonymous with relaxation. During the summer, you can take part in a wide range of sporting activities. Among the most popular are:
- Stand-up paddleboarding (SUP)

Sports enthusiasts can also make the most of the cycle paths that link different parts of the resort, allowing them to explore the beauty of the surrounding area.
The charm of the lagoon
One of the things that makes Grado unique compared to other seaside resorts is its lagoon.
Just a short walk from the beaches lies a landscape of canals, islets and the characteristic fishermen’s huts that tell the story of the area’s history and traditions.
Boat trips are one of the most popular activities amongst visitors and allow you to discover picturesque spots that are difficult to reach by land.
