Spiaggia di Lido del Sole (Lido North Beach), Venice

Venice's legendary beachfront, the Lido, still preserves traces of its Belle Époque splendor. Many hotels on this charming barrier island provide access to beach clubs adorned with cabanas, striped umbrellas, and comfortable chaise lounges. These facilities are often available to non-guests for a fee, inviting visitors to bask in the sun and embrace the coastal ambiance.

For nature enthusiasts, the public beaches located at both ends of the island offer a more rustic yet enchanting setting, perfect for sinking your toes into the soft sand. With convenient amenities such as food and drink options, lifeguards, showers, and restrooms, these public beaches cater to your needs.

Whether you seek a refreshing swim or a leisurely walk along the shore, the Lido's beaches provide a nice retreat for beachgoers of all kinds.

Tip:
Lido's southern beach, located near the municipal golf course, requires a longer walk (or a bus journey), which results in fewer crowds and a more tranquil atmosphere.
