Lido beach club selector
Tell it your party size, preference for paid vs free, and whether you have kids. The tool returns the right Lido setup and how to reach it.
What this solves
The Lido is Venice's beach, an 11 km sandbar 15 minutes by vaporetto. It has two beach styles: stabilimenti (private clubs with umbrellas, loungers, and restaurant service) and spiagge libere (free beaches, public). Tourists often default to one without understanding the trade-offs. This tool returns the right call.
How to read the result
"Recommended" is the setup for your pick. "Cost" is the daily per-person rate. "How to reach" lists the vaporetto line from central Venice. "Tip" is the practical note (kids' area, restaurant on site, etc.).
Free beaches have changing rooms and restaurants nearby but you bring your own towel. Stabilimenti include everything but cost €15-€35/person per day.
