Dont limit your the joy of the sun by tanning on your hotel terrace or on a square.  It will take only 15 min by water bus from the San Marco square. A long Adriatic beach line is situated on the other legendary Island of the Venice lagoon – Lido. In the 60ies it was a favorite cinema stars resort, equal to Nice, Saint Tropez and Cannes. And still is in the very beginning of every September, when the red carpet of a Venice film festival is full of nowdays cinema stars.
