About Lido Di Dante

This is a beautiful free beach open to nudism. For several years, until spring 2011, it was an official beach of the Emilia-Romagna Region Naturist Assoc. Then, the anti-naturist mayor, decided not to renew the agreement with A.N.E.R. and the beach returned to its former status, i.e. the unofficial nude beach it had been for the past 40 years.
It is more than a kilometer long and wonderful for strolling at water's edge, sunbathing, and swimming. There are no services, but just outside the pine grove there is a bathing establishment which sells food and drinks which can be taken onto the beach.
The one restriction is that there be no walking or setting up towels and umbrellas on the dunes. Please keep to the area between the water and the edge of the dune.

Lido Di Dante Directions

By Car: From the center of Ravenna take Via Marabina to the sea. When you enter the village of Lido di Dante, turn right at the traffic circle and continue on. The road takes a sharp left turn. At the end of that section there is parking on the left and, on the right, an entrance to a pine grove park "Pineta". Walk into the pine grove and after about 500m there is a path which crosses the road. Go left and walk to the beach. At the beach, go right and almost immediately the nude area starts. Enjoy!
By bus: When the schools are not in session there is bus service at the "Radio Taxi" stand across from the train station. The 44 bus goes to the Lido di Dante. Tickets must be bought at the "PuntoBus" in the train station.
By taxi: Year-round taxi service is available, but is quite expensive; about 30-50 Euros round trip.
