Where to stay in Cattolica

Lungomare (seafront)

  • beach
  • families

The seafront promenade is where most beach holidays are based. The official Riviera Rimini site says the resort is at its best from spring right through to October. An apartment here keeps the sand within walking distance, so check the exact distance to the beach in each listing.

Harbour (Porto)

  • harbour views
  • fish restaurants
  • couples

The official tourism site describes the old harbour as surrounded by bars and restaurants, with a characteristic boat-shaped fountain, and local fish features prominently in its account of the food. It is a quieter, more working-port corner of the resort that suits visitors who want local character rather than a pure beach strip.

Railway station area

  • train travel
  • car-free stays
  • day trips

The station is the arrival point for visitors coming by rail, and the aquarium's own travel page tells rail visitors to take bus 125 from Cattolica railway station. Staying nearby is practical if you want connections along the coast, although the sea and main attractions are not at the station itself, so check each listing for walking distance. The aquarium's operator also mentions guarded car and camper parking.
