Smoking on Bibione beaches: ban and restricted areas
The beaches of Bibione have been under a smoking ban since summer 2019, with the aim of allowing all visitors tovisitors can breathe the fresh sea air without restrictions and enjoy their stay by the sea in a pleasant and healthy environment. With this move, Bibione has joined the ranks of modern Italian resorts that place emphasis on comfort, clean beaches and consideration for families with children and non-smokers during their seaside holidays in Italy.
The ban applies to public beaches and access roads to the sea. The purpose of the measure is not only to protect health but also to reduce the amount of cigarette butts in the sand and sea, which contributes to an overall higher quality of the beach environment.
Designated smoking areas on the beach
There are specially designated smoking areas for smokers in Bibione, which are sensitively placed so as not to disturb other beachgoers. These areas were built with wood harvested in the Alps after the autumn floods of 2018, which was also a way for the town to promote the ecological and sustainable use of natural materials.
Smoking is also allowed in some beach bars and snack bars, where the rules are regulated by the operator. It is therefore recommended to always respect local signage and staff instructions.
