Holidays in Punta Sabbioni

An introduction to Punta Sabbioni

Sometimes, it's good to be greedy. Well - why should you have to choose one thing over another on your getaway? After all, holidays are precious. So head to Punta Sabbioni, where you'll most definitely bag the best of both worlds. At the top of the list here is the fact that this relaxed harbour town is the main gateway to Venice. Just a vaporetto ride away, in fact. The water bus journey takes around 40 minutes, but if you're feeling flush hire a private water taxi and arrive in style. And once you're there, a heart-stopping treasure trove of art and architecture awaits you – from St Mark's Square to the Bridge of Sighs. But when you want to escape the sightseeing masses, simply make your way back to base. Here, you're a world away from gondola-crammed canals and buzzing backstreets. There's a sprinkling of delightful little shops, laid-back bars and traditional Italian restaurants. The star attractions here though are the beaches. And we're not just talking a pocket of sand here and a cove there. You're literally spoilt for choice. For starters, there's Lido Di Jesolo's nine kilometre stretch of sand. Snaking along the coastline like a golden ribbon, colourful parasols and sun beds pepper the beach and there is no end of watersports on offer. You can also catch the Annual Sand Sculptures here during July, where famous landmarks sit along the beach. And then there are the sunburnt sands of Cavallino if you take a right and head west. With shimmering pink and white shores that seem to change in the sunlight and drop-dead gorgeous sunsets, it's as romantic as Venice. Which is why perhaps, the Venetians escape here from the city lights. It's no wonder those in the know have kept Punta Sabbioni a secret. Isn't it time you joined them?
