Marina di Goro

The Marina is located within a lagoon called Sacca di Goro, which protects it and makes it very safe from a nautical point of view. It has 360 berths and can accommodate boats up to 1.60 meters draft and 15 meters length. The port, which covers an area of 15 hectares, was expanded in 2009 to its current size. A fuel station and a mobile crane up to 7 tons are located nearby.

The ports can be reached by sailing west along the Scannone di Goro, and half a mile from Volano beach one must turn north to enter the 2.50- to 3.00-meter-deep access channel. Two lighted mede mark the beginning of a row of briccole to be left to reach the port after about 3 miles. The dock is protected from the sea and the Sirocco winds by a reef a few hundred meters long. The Goro lighthouse, which stands out high from the mouth of the Po, serves as a reference point for the ascent and for stopping at restaurants reachable only from the river.

Numerous boats depart from here to discover the environment of the Po Delta Park and go down the river to the sea, among islands and reed beds, a privileged place for the various species of birds to which the Sacca di Goro offers shelter.

The Scannone of Goro also known as the Island of Love, is a strip of land of 8 km, formed by the advance of the Po delta, stretching from the mouth of the Port of Goro toward Lido di Volano. On the outermost part of the Scannone, an isolated strip of sand called Scanno del faro, stands theGoro Lighthouse near which long walks depart through which to reach the beaches.

The Sacca di Goro is the ideal habitat for a large quantity of fish and for the breeding of mussels, oysters and veracious clams for which Goro is among the leading exporters in Europe. The “clam festival,” created to celebrate its typical product, is held every year on the third weekend of July.
