How to get around Lido di Jesolo

The beach is mostly concessioned: an umbrella and two loungers run roughly twenty to thirty euros a day in season, and free public stretches are limited. Many hotels include beach service, so check before paying twice.

There is no railway station. The nearest is San Donà di Piave-Jesolo with buses on; direct buses also run from Venice Piazzale Roma and Marco Polo airport in about an hour.

For Venice, take the bus to Punta Sabbioni and the boat — around 35 minutes to San Marco, and far better than driving.

The town is flat and cycling is the local norm; hire is everywhere and cheap. The seafront and Via Bafile are level and accessible, and many beach establishments have accessible walkways onto the sand.

Most of the resort closes from November to April.

Getting here. There is no railway station at Jesolo. The line runs inland, and the coach operator ATVO connects the resort from the stations at San Donà di Piave, Portogruaro and Venice. From Venice itself the pleasant route is the boat to Punta Sabbioni and a bus along the peninsula, which is slower than the direct coach and much better.

Getting about. The resort is a straight strip parallel to the sea, which makes it unusually easy to navigate and unusually long: fifteen kilometres of beach means the far end is a serious distance from the near one. Bicycles are the local solution and are rented everywhere; the main street is pedestrianised in the evening.

What constrains the day. Season, not timetable. Out of season the bus frequencies thin along with everything else.
