Pellestrina beach

Pellestrina is a beach on a separate island located to the south of Venice, Italy. It's a little further than Lido, but less crowded. The beach is beautiful, but looks somewhat abandoned. There are many huts made of sticks, snags and different kind of trash. It's funny, but also depressing. There are many breakwaters, as well as underwater breakwaters running along the entire coast. So sea water is almost always calm and clear. It is possible to get here by car using a ferry service. You can also get from Venice in an hour by bus N or 11 to the stop of Madonna dell'Apparizione (ID 4622) (ferry + bus). Shore and seabed: sand, pebbles. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Pellestrina has a good choice of apartments for about US$150-200 per night. By the way, the town is quite beautiful (of course, not as beautiful as Venice).

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Venice - Marco Polo international airport (VCE), or fly to Treviso airport (TSF), or fly to Verona airport (VRN). Next get by taxi or by bus.

When to go [edit]

The best time for a beach holiday in the Italian region of Veneto is a warm period from July to September.
