Punta Sabbioni Site Features

The boat to Venice

Around 35 minutes to San Marco across open lagoon, with Burano, Murano and Torcello reachable too. The approach to Venice by water is the correct way to arrive.

The lagoon inlet

The channel between the peninsula and the Lido of Venice, where the sea enters the lagoon and where the MOSE barriers are installed.

The coastal batteries

Early twentieth-century fortifications on the peninsula behind, built to defend the lagoon and used in the First World War.

The lagoon side

Behind the point, salt marsh, fishing valleys and the market gardens of Treporti -- a different world from the beach a kilometre away.
