Punta Sabbioni: beach, parking and connections with Venice and the islands

Punta Sabbioni Beach

The beach of Punta Sabbioni extends for about 2 kilometers and is one of the favorite beaches of many families for its width and the gentle slope towards the sea, as well as for the nature that characterizes the whole coast of Cavallino in general. In this area, which hosts together with the pine forest behind a protected biotope called „dunes and woods of Punta Sabbioni”, we find the refectory, a small wader on the verge of extinction, which has found its ideal habitat on the Cavallino-Treporti coast. and a dense and fragrant pine forest with tamarisks and various species of pines, an ideal place for a walk immersed in nature at any time of the year.

While the coastal environment preserves an important natural heritage, the hinterland of Punta Sabbioni instead houses numerous military fortifications today the scene of outdoor cultural events. Among these we remember the Forte Treporti, locally known as „Forte Vecchio„, built during the Austrian domination to defend the lagoon territory and Venice, and the nearby Amalfi Battery, completed in 1917 and used in both world wars to protect the coast and the Venetian city.

Going along the beach of Punta Sabbioni to the final end, you reach the stone dam that delimits the mouth of the port of Venice-Lido, a favorite place for fishing enthusiasts, dominated by the Punta Sabbioni lighthouse, unmistakable for its unique pagoda shape and perfect scenery for a souvenir photo.

From here, going up the Lungomare Dante Alighieri, you can admire the MOSE mobile dam system, built to protect Venice from high water and which came into operation for the first time in October 2020, and reach the Punta Sabbioni pier, from where every day motor ships and ferries leave for Venice and the neighbouring islands.
