The beginning of the summer is celebrated by the popular International Festival of Beach Tchoukball, which is a highly educational sport where physical contact is prohibited and rules and regulations play a fundamental role.

In April, the beaches of Bellaria are the seat of an amazing competition, Sabbia e Golf, which changed the strict rules of golf while turning its classical course (the green), into a wide expanse of golden sand. Rimini's beaches are also the venue for further exciting activities, such as Cheecoting, the World Championship of Beach Marbles.

Every day in summer, bathing attendants give tourists the possibility to play beach volley, beach soccer or beach tennis in the beautiful courts which are arranged on the beach, and give the most daring ones the possibility to take part in interesting sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing courses.
