Summer has finally arrived, bringing with it the desire to relax in the sun, dive into crystal-clear waters, and enjoy the beauty of our coasts. Jesolo, with its 15 kilometers of golden sand and well-equipped beaches, is the ideal destination for a vacation filled with sea and fun. Located just a few kilometers from Venice, it is famous for its magnificent beaches and lively nightlife, making it one of the most celebrated seaside resorts on the Adriatic Riviera.
If you are planning a seaside getaway, here are the Jesolo beaches you absolutely cannot miss. Let’s discover the best ones!
But first, how is the sea in Jesolo?
The waters of Jesolo are generally calm and shallow, especially suitable for families with children. They are awarded the Blue Flag every year for the cleanest sea (Jesolo has won this prestigious recognition 20 times, including in 2023) and the Green Flag, attesting Jesolo as one of the best beaches for children. Thanks to marine currents and the coastline’s shape, Jesolo’s sea is generally quite calm and smooth, making it ideal for swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, and sailing. Particularly, thanks to favorable weather conditions, the Jesolo area is very popular among kitesurfing enthusiasts, who take advantage of the wind to perform spectacular stunts on the water. In some areas of the beach, you can rent pedal boats, canoes, and motorboats for excursions in the open sea.
Today, these kilometers of beach are among the most sought-after destinations for summer holidays due to the high quality of services offered, leisure opportunities, nightlife, and crystal-clear sea water. Not least is its proximity to Venice, which makes it attractive even for those who want to combine the sea with culture.
So, which ones should you choose?
One of Jesolo’s most famous and frequented beaches is Spiaggia del Faro. This fine sandy beach owes its name to the picturesque Jesolo lighthouse or Piave Vecchia lighthouse, located at the junction between the Sile River and the Adriatic Sea. Built in 1846, its initial construction had military purposes under the Austrian government. After being destroyed during World War II, it was faithfully rebuilt between 1949 and 1951. This imposing lighthouse, characterized by its cylindrical shape and black-and-white stripes, stands 48 meters tall.
Near the city center, Spiaggia del Faro is the perfect place to relax, stroll, and enjoy the sea breeze. It is also equipped with a range of services, including sunbeds, umbrellas, restaurants, and bars, for maximum comfort!
For those seeking a more secluded and tranquil beach, Spiaggia del Cavallino is the right choice. It stretches along the coasts of the Cavallino-Treporti peninsula and is famous for its unspoiled beauty. It is a paradise of relaxation away from the crowd, perfect for enjoying peace and tranquility, lulled by the waves and your thoughts. Despite this idyllic calm, Spiaggia del Cavallino is also an unmissable destination for water sports enthusiasts who frequent it for windsurfing and kitesurfing, activities favored by ideal conditions in terms of waves and wind.
Spiaggia del Lido di Jesolo, wide and long, offers everything you need for a comfortable day at the beach: very well-equipped establishments and plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops. And as the sun sets, get ready for fun: Spiaggia del Lido di Jesolo is especially famous for its lively nightlife. The music resonates in the beach clubs and seaside discos. With a cocktail in hand and your feet in the sand, it will be impossible to resist the party and enjoy the magical summer nights.
For nature lovers, there is Spiaggia di Cortellazzo, west of Jesolo, which stands out for its wild and unspoiled beauty. Long and lazy sand dunes refreshed by lush vegetation make this beach the ideal destination to escape from the hustle and bustle. Perfect for walking along the shore, enjoying a picnic by the sea, or simply relaxing and meditating, taking in the scenery.
Bau Beach: beach for four-legged friends
Jesolo also has a fully equipped beach reserved for dogs, aptly named “Bau Beach.” It is located in the eastern part of the city, in the Cortellazzo area, within the Lido di Jesolo. Bau Beach is equipped with all the necessary comforts for dogs and their owners, such as dog showers, drinking water dispensers, hygienic bag dispensers, and waste bins. Bau Beach stretches over about 8,000 square meters and consists of fine, golden sand with direct access to the sea. Here, dogs can play freely in the water and on the beach. It is important to know that Bau Beach has some specific rules, such as mandatory vaccination for dogs, and the responsibility to clean up after them.
There are several free beaches in Jesolo where you can sunbathe and swim without paying an entrance fee or renting sunbeds and umbrellas, but of course, there are also several beach clubs with paid access, some of which offer additional services and comforts compared to the public beaches.
In short, Jesolo offers a wide choice of beaches for every need, from relaxation to nightlife, from water sports to activities for the little ones. Whatever your vacation style, you will surely find the beach that suits you.
Get ready to enjoy your days at the beach, between sun, sand, and fun.
