The city is located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, 20 km south of Ravenna, at an altitude of 5 m a.s.l. Between Milano Marittima, Cervia, Pinarella and Tagliata there is a pine forest of about 260 hectares, of which 27 are part of the natural park. Together with the natural reserve of the salt pans, which occupies an area of 827 hectares, where avocets, black-winged stilts, egrets and mallards nest and pink flamingos pass through, it forms the south station of the Po Delta Regional Park. The northern part of the municipal territory is bathed by the Savio river which marks the border with the municipality of Ravenna. Cervia has more than 9 km of beaches. The periodic checks on the purity of the water, carried out periodically by ARPA, have guaranteed the city the Blue Flag of the Foundation for Environmental Education, for the twenty-first time in 2016. The levels of this waste water have always been optimal in recent years, except for some small surveys in 2002 and 2004 which triggered the alarms; upon subsequent checks, the water quality immediately returned to within the norm. Lately, in summer the phenomenon of eutrophication has sometimes occurred, with consequent coming to the shore of the mucilage, which since 1729 (first historical documentation) has hit the waters of the Adriatic Sea 26 times.
