PORTO DI GORO (Goro Port) - MARINA DI GORO
44°50.35' N – 12°17.65' E

The port is the inner part of the Sacca di Goro and is a wide basin, nearly rectangular in shape, contained by the banks and breakwaters. Since the middle of last century consolidation works have made the port into a solid structure suitable for mooring and repairing boats. The port is home to a few hundred local fishing boats fitted for gathering mussels and clams.
It also has an important tourism role as a departure point for excursions into the Po Delta. With a small boat you can cross the Sacca to the port of Gorino, and through canals and cane beds get as far as the picturesque lighthouse.
