After lots of lying on sand and swimming in the sea - painstaking research to be sure. My family and I have produced our Beach Guides.
This article looks at some of the best beaches near Venice but our main guide features many more top beaches in Italy.
Many people are quite surprised to learn that there are great beaches near Venice. Here we look at the best two:
Albarella Beach
Albarella is perhaps the best of the beaches near Venice. The beach is on an island that falls within a nature reserve.
The island is completely private - only guests staying here are allowed in and this place is really paradise if you have kids - my five year old son absolutely loves the place.
If the kids have had enough of all the history in Venice, and mine usually has by lunch on the first day, then this is a great place to escape for a while and make them happy.
The benefits are numerous for a great family holiday. Some of the best points are:
o Virtually car free - you need to walk, cycle or catch the little island train to get around, which makes this island a fabulous place to explore and the kids can run free.
o Great concerts, shows and live entertainment in the summer.
o Superb choice of sports including a great golf course and Europe's biggest salt water swimming pool.
o Nearly every type of water sport from sailing to deep sea diving.
Alberoni
Alberoni is the last and best Lido beach. Not anything spectacular but definitely a pleasant enough beach and free as well.
Surprisingly it does not look quite as much like an umbrella landing zone as so many of the beaches around the north of Italy and frankly I am not much into regimented rows of deck chairs and umbrellas.
The beach is set in a nature reserve and really does seem a world away from the hustle and bustle of Venice. A great idea if you feel energetic is to hire a bike and explore the island.
