Veneto beaches are FUNCTIONAL, not spectacular. Long, flat, sandy, shallow, fully equipped — the opposite of Sardinia's wild coves. But they work: families, stabilimenti, wide sand, warm shallow water. The Lido di Venezia adds cultural cachet (the Film Festival beach).
Venice's beach island. Where Thomas Mann set Death in Venice. The Film Festival (September). Liberty-style hotels. Sandy, calm, surreal (Venice is BEHIND you).
400m-wide beach. The WIDEST in the northern Adriatic. Flat, calm, shallow. The definition of family beach.
The pretty one. A fishing village old town (Venetian colors) + a long sandy beach. Caorle is what Jesolo wishes it was.
15km of sand. The party beach of the Veneto. Nightlife. Waterparks. NOT for solitude.
"Little Venice" — Chioggia's beach. Sandy, wide, cheaper than Lido. 1h from Venice by vaporetto + bus.
