Ca' Savio: Dunes, Beach and History

Ca' Savio focuses on protected coastal nature, the beach and local everyday life. The area appeals to travellers who want to plan their days around observing nature, outdoor activities, the sea, regional foods and culture. For your travel planning, you can schedule a nature excursion, time at the beach, the 18-kilometre Percorso dei Forti, historic sites and the Wednesday market separately in Ca' Savio.

Protected nature and guided excursions

Dune e boschi di Ca' Savio is one of five protected areas on the coast of Cavallino-Treporti and one of the protected coastal areas within the Natura 2000 context. Guided excursions to the dunes and into the pine forest start at the Centro Ambientale Turistico near the protected area. These excursions are led by an environmental guide certified by AIGAE. The dunes and pine forest are therefore the focus of a guided nature experience.

Access to the sea and practical information

The paid car park at the sea access on Via di Ca' Savio is the meeting point for the guided nature excursions in Ca' Savio and is located near the Centro Ambientale Turistico. The sea access also has public toilets and showers, as well as a free, equipped beach. For a day at the beach, the car park, public toilets, showers, and the free, equipped beach are all together there. Guided visits to the Centro Ambientale Turistico are available only in summer and by prior reservation.

Cycling along the coast

The 18-kilometre, very easy and fully asphalted cycle path Percorso dei Forti begins at Ca' Savio beach and runs along the coast of the Cavallino-Treporti peninsula – a clear framework for a bicycle excursion. The 18 kilometres define the scope of the excursion; the fully asphalted surface and its classification as very easy provide concrete details for route planning.

Historical traces and museum

The Cavallino ammunition depot is a historic building in Ca' Savio that can be seen along cycling routes. Parts of the original installations have been preserved inside. Conservation restoration at Batteria Vettor Pisani was completed in 2017. Today, it is the centre of the Via dei Forti route, houses a museum and serves as a venue for events and study. The museum and events complement the visible structural traces with a present-day use.

Wednesday market in Ca' Savio

The Ca' Savio farmers' market takes place every Wednesday morning in Piazza Papa Giovanni Paolo II in Ca' Savio. Regional products from short supply chains and organic products are offered, including fruit, vegetables, cheese and cured meats. For travellers who want to discover regional foods as part of a place's everyday life, the market provides a specific point of reference. Anyone wishing to visit the market should plan for Wednesday morning in Ca' Savio.

Event in 2025

Ca' Savio Summer Night took place in 2025 on Fridays from 13 June to 12 September on Via di Ca' Savio, with music and entertainment.
