Caorle is an old fishing village where ancient traditions are kept alive. Fishing is still one of the main cornerstones of the local economy, along with tourism.

The fishing harbour is a popular tourist attraction, especially in late morning or the afternoon, when the fishermen come back, moor their boats, unload their precious catches of fresh fish, wash their decks and repair their nets.

The most distinctive vessels in the harbour are colourful fishing boats with traditional trapezium-shaped sails known as “bragozzi”, which swarm around the lively wharf.
