Due to the strong sailing tradition of this area, sport is the natural complement of the sea. It is difficult, even for the laziest, to ignore all the opportunities of trying various activities. The beach offers facilities for every sport, from beach volley to bowls, for every taste and every age. There are also swimming schools, windsurfing, sailing, horse-riding, golf, tennis, skating and above all nautical sports.
Recently built or renovated, high level sports facilities have made Lignano Sabbiadoro a modern sports town: revitalizing bicycle rides, horse-rides along the green Tagliamento river banks, tennis matches, or trying to beat your free-style personal record in the new indoor Olympic-size swimming pool.
From the sports activities organized on the beach and in the water, to the keep-fit trails in the parks, there is no sport that cannot be practiced in Lignano, either at a competitive or amateur level.
