San Bartolo Natural Park, Fiorenzuola di Focara and Gabicce Monte

The San Bartolo park is ideal for walks or bike rides, so you can discover breath-taking views of the cliffs.

Those who prefer to relax in a secluded beach, far from chaos, should walk down to the Fiorenzuola beach; the rise to come back could be hard, but it is worthwhile.

Gabicce Monte offers a wonderful panorama of the Romagna’s shore.
