In contrast to last year, we can already enjoy hot August-like-weather since the beginning of May this year. When suffering such temperatures the beach is calling louder than normal, so I’m going to present you today one of the less known beaches in Venice, or better on the Lido: Alberoni.
Alberoni is a natural beach on the south side of the Lido – not on the north side where you’ll find the more known touristy beaches (like Blue Moon) – surrounded by a WWF oasis (with 8-10 meter high dunes).
You have the possibility to rent a sunshade (9€/day) or a sunbed (€5/day) in the private bath Bagni Alberoni or to just bring your towel and to relax on the natural beach. It’s maybe not as clean (branches and algae) as Jesolo or the other part of the Lido, but still very inviting and pleases me more than the touristy overcrowded versions.
Two other free beaches are Baccan and the Blue Moon.
How to get there
Take the Vaporetto (ACTV lines 1, 2, 10, 5.2, 5.1, 6, 8,14) and get off at the terminal stop Lido S. Maria Elisabetta. With the bus (line A; about 20-30 minutes), stopping directly in front of the vaporetto terminal, continue to the terminal stop Piazzale Bagni Pubblici. Get off and just continue straight ahead on the same street. After 5-10 minutes you’ll reach the beach.
