1. Swimming in Bibione’s calm and safe sea
Let’s start with the simplest and most beloved activity by children: a dip in the sea of Bibione! What makes this beach so special for families is its gently sloping sandy seabed, creating a safe environment where even the little ones can play in the water worry-free.
The water stays shallow for several meters from the shore, allowing children to play among the waves while parents relax under the umbrella. The constant lifeguard supervision along the coast adds an extra layer of safety to your beach day.
And after a refreshing swim, what could be better than returning to your comfy umbrella on the private beach of Residence Serenissima? With a reserved spot for your entire stay, there’s no need to arrive early to claim a good place!
2. Building sandcastles on the golden beach
The fine golden sand of Bibione seems made especially for building castles and sculptures! This is an activity that brings the whole family together in a moment of creativity and fun. The perfect consistency of Bibione’s sand makes it ideal for creating towers, moats, and elaborate decorations.
Don’t forget to bring buckets, shovels, and molds – and if you do forget, you’ll find toy shops along the promenade to buy everything you need. Or, if you’re staying at Residence Serenissima, just ask at reception: our residence in Bibione can provide everything you need for a fun beach day.
Expert tip: bring a spray bottle filled with water to keep the sand moist and make building your masterpiece easier.
3. Take a day trip to Venice
One of the most magical experiences you can give your children is undoubtedly a day trip from Bibione to nearby Venice. The city of canals is less than an hour from Bibione and easily accessible by public transport or organized excursions.
Imagine the wonder in your children’s eyes when they see St. Mark's Square for the first time, the gondoliers navigating the canals, or the colorful houses of Burano! It’s an adventure they’ll remember forever.
To make the visit even more fun for children, turn the city exploration into a treasure hunt: search for the hidden winged lions around every corner or count how many bridges you can cross in a day.
And in the evening, when you return tired but happy to your apartment in Bibione at Residence Serenissima, you can relax in the pool and share your impressions of the day spent in the most romantic city in the world.
