Lago Arcobaleno: A Quiet Escape Just Outside Riccione
Tucked just a short drive from Riccione’s lively coastline, Lago Arcobaleno is a peaceful retreat where the pace slows and nature takes center stage. Known for its calm atmosphere and clear freshwater lake, it’s the perfect getaway for families, fishing enthusiasts, and anyone craving a slower, more grounded experience during their stay.
This catch-and-release lake is designed for sport fishing, offering a scenic setting for both seasoned anglers and curious first-timers. But there's more than just fishing here.
The lakeside bar serves simple but satisfying fare — piadine, burgers, fresh salads — along with local wines and cold drinks. On weekends, the kitchen expands its offerings to include pasta and regional dishes. With free sun loungers set up along the shoreline, it’s easy to spend the whole afternoon here, rod in hand or book in lap.
You can rent fishing gear onsite (starting at €5), or shop for quality equipment from well-known brands like Tubertini and Camor. Not sure where to start? The friendly team offers tips and setup guidance, free of charge.
Kids are welcome too, with occasional children’s tournaments that focus more on fun than competition. And yes — dogs are allowed, as long as they’re on a leash.
