Description

Venetian Lido is a thin island 12 km long, which divides the Lagoon of Venice from the sea; it connects San Nicolò port to Malamocco one, and the island is reachable only by boats and ferry-boat. Lido is one of the few Venetian Lagoon island in which you can find driveways. Lido Beach owes its notoriety to natural fine and golden sand dunes. The water is clean and reasonably still (winter gales and summer storms excluded) thanks to the seawalls, named "pennelli" (brushes), like the one in the photo, which start from the shore of every private beach. This name is due to the fact which these seawalls push out in the sea, narrowing the entrance of the Venetian Lagoon into which there is the harbour.The first private baths were built in 1857. Here the foul weather gave me some hours' respite and I went to the beach near the hotel. While the sea looked angry, the red flag on the left shows that the wind went down. Thanks for your kind comments.

Beautifully captured Sandra. :Loos like you had the beach yourself. That's the way I like it, but that usually only happens when the weather isn't to good!
