The lagoon sits between Eraclea Mare and the mouth of the Piave, on a low, flat, sandy coast at the edge of the Venetian Riviera.
Its structure is the classic one for this shore, and here it is complete: open beach, then a dune ridge, then the shallow brackish lagoon behind it, then the pine wood, then reclaimed farmland inland.
The water is brackish, fed by seepage and tidal exchange rather than by the river that made it, and it varies in salinity through the year.
The land behind is reclaimed marsh, drained in the twentieth century and lying barely above sea level.
