Rimini between sea and hinterland: beaches, cycle paths and villages to discover
Rimini offers for summer 2026 a tourist offer that connects its 15 kilometers of coastline to the villages of the Romagna hinterland. Equipped beaches, cycle paths, outdoor activities and excursions allow you to organize a holiday between sea, nature and culture, moving even without a car.
The symbol of this evolution is the Parco del Mare, the urban regeneration project that has transformed the seafront into a large public space overlooking the Adriatic. Cycle and pedestrian paths, green areas, areas for physical activity and spaces dedicated to well-being allow you to experience the waterfront throughout the day.
The project received the ECF Award – Cycling Infrastructure Award during Velo-city 2026, an award given by the European Cyclists' Federation to infrastructures that improve the quality of life through sustainable mobility. An award that also enhances the development of Rimini's cycle network, which has reached a total of 202 kilometres.
Beaches, sports and accessible services
The Rimini coastline includes more than 250 bathing establishments and large stretches of free beach. The shallow waters are particularly suitable for families with children, while the spaces dedicated to sports allow you to alternate relaxation with activities on the sand and in the water. There is no shortage of yoga sessions at dawn, SUP rides, walks on the shoreline and sunset experiences.
The attention to accessibility translates into facilitated paths, equipped establishments and services for people with disabilities. Among the most significant initiatives is "Spiaggia Libera Tutti", a project that in 2026 provides new seats for assisted bathing and a larger walkway to facilitate safe entry into the water.
From the coast to the villages of Romagna
A few kilometers from the sea, the landscape gives way to the valleys of Marecchia and Conca, among hills, vineyards, castles and historic centers. San Leo, Verucchio, Santarcangelo di Romagna, Pennabilli, Montefiore Conca, Mondaino, Montegridolfo and Saludecio are some of the places that can be reached during your stay.
The bicycle is one of the most popular ways to explore the area. Bike hotels, specialized services and itineraries of varying difficulty allow you to start from the seafront and reach the hills, with Valmarecchia among the areas of greatest interest for cycling enthusiasts.
During the summer, the excursions "A Spass, discover Romagna by bus" are also available. The program includes itineraries dedicated to San Leo and Pennabilli, to the Villanovan and Malatesta history of Verucchio and to the territory of Poggio Torriana, with an evening visit to the Castle of Montebello, handicrafts and tastings. Departures are scheduled between July and September 2026, with information and reservations through VisitRimini.
Rimini Pass and connections

The pass allows you to organize travel between the historic center, the sea and the main attractions, reducing the need to use the car.

Public transport, the Metromare and the cycle network complete a mobility system designed to discover the city and the Riviera in a simple and sustainable way.
