Overview:

Lido di Jesolo is every inch dedicated to the delights of holidaymaking. Safe bathing in the warm sea, strolling along the beach front promeneade or watching the world go by from a pavement cafe. There is also the opportunity to see some of Northern Italy's famous sights such as Venice, Verona, Lake Garda and the Dolomites.

A vast, busy resort, mostly originating from the early 1960s, Jesolo provides holidaymakers with an opportunity to relax in a relatively spacious coastal location with pools, beach and comfortable accommodation.

Overcrowding has become less of a problem in recent years although the popular central area is subject to some noise and closed to traffic at peak times.

This area caters for mainly package tours, but some 4-star hotels provide reasonable middlemarket facilities and many make good provision for families.

There is a broad range of standard, mostly 2- to 4-star hotels, the majority providing full or half board. Watch out for extra charges for using loungers by hotel pools and for air conditioning.

Locality:

Lido Di Jesolo is found in north east Italy, at top end of the Adriatic coast. (it is 20 mls NE of Venice; 15 mls SE of Venice airport).

Entertainment/Facilities/Attractions/Things to do:

Jesolo Beach stretches the full length of the resort and more, with broader stretches of fine clean sand towards the E end. Most of the beach is segmented into private sections owned by adjacent hotels, which offer free sunbeds, deck chairs and sun umbrellas; small public slices are available at 50-yard intervals.

There are some supermarkets for the neccessaties, but mostly tourist shops selling low-quality mementoes. A few designer boutiques selling upmarket goods..

During the daytime the activities are mainly beach orientated, with water-sports facilities. Other activities in the local area include tennis, horse riding and go-karting.

The nightlife consists of many bars, restaurants, cafes and discos, which are all open late.

There are several cafes, ice-cream parlours and bars but fewer restaurants as most residents eat in hotels. Towards the west end, around Piazza Marina, a few quality restaurants serve the local community.
