- Two buddies discovered a beautiful and hto beach near Venice, don't miss it ! - The beach is called "isola del morto" (death island) but it's not an island.. just a beach near the river Piave. Bears everywhere, old, youg, fat and slim... many nudist .. Don't miss it...
"Punta Sabbioni" Beach - between Venice and Jesolo, with small woods, similar to Alberoni (see next stop), but it's wider, nicer and more easily accessible since you can get there by car coming from Jesolo and getting the Strada Jesolana to Cavallino-Treporti. Going straight ahead you'll get to the Venice ferry boat area, and there you have to turn left going by the channel che joins the laguna to the sea, until you get to the lighthouse. The right entrance is number 4, but you'll find meat on every dune (bears most often seen on Saturdays!).
Cine Astra
Lido di Venezia, 9 - cinema to get to only when the show is xxrated
Lido Alberoni
Even with the growing pollution in the Laguna this open beach continues to draw fans from everywhere. Maybe 'cos you don't wanna get here to spend your time swimming...

Don't forget to bring with you food and water. The place is "in the wild"!
