Tucked along the Ponente coastline of Caorle, the Verde Mare Porto Santa Margherita beach club is one of the most complete seaside set-ups on the upper Adriatic.
It has a private 8,000 square-metre park behind the sand, controlled access for safety, and a daily entertainment programme that runs from morning to evening. It has earned a loyal following with families, sports lovers, and couples looking for a quieter Italian beach holiday.
Discover Verde Mare and Porto Santa Margherita
Porto Santa Margherita is located on the right bank of the Livenza river mouth, roughly 2 km from the historic centre of Caorle and about an hour east of Venice.
The town was built around its marina, holding up to 500 berths, and is one of the most respected leisure ports on the Veneto coast.
Nearby, there are the busier towns of Jesolo and Bibione, with pedestrianised streets, pine woods, cycle paths, and a wide sandy beach with a gentle entry into the sea.
The Porto Santa Margherita Verde Mare beach club is the only fully fenced, access-controlled lido in the area. It works more like a small village than a standard beach concession, including umbrellas and gazebos on the sand with a sports park, restaurant, and entertainment centre.
Quick facts about the club:
- Address: Viale Lepanto 141, Porto Santa Margherita, Caorle (VE)
- Beach setup: 246 umbrellas and 7 gazebos with generous spacing
- Park area: 8,000 m² behind the beach
- Access: Fully fenced with controlled entry
- Wi-Fi: Free throughout the beach and pine wood area
- On-site restaurant: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner served seafront
- Dog beach: Dedicated welcoming area for small dogs nearby (Viale Lepanto 151)
Services and facilities at Verde Mare Club
What makes Verde Mare Club Porto Santa Margherita different from neighbouring lidos is the amount of services packed into one site. The fine, soft sand is groomed daily, and the wide gaps between umbrellas give you space, even in busy August!
Behind the beach, a green park stretches over 8,000 m² and is shaded by mature pines.
Qualified instructors run activities from morning until evening, including sports and games that work for mixed-age groups. Evenings move to the restaurant terrace on the shoreline, where the kitchen leans heavily on fresh fish and house-made desserts at honest prices, often paired with live music or themed nights.

Beaches and relaxation in the Verde Mare complex
The beach in front of the club is part of Caorle’s Ponente shoreline, which is a Blue Flag Beach for water quality and beach management. The sand here is famously fine and golden, and the seabed slopes very gently, so it is perfect for kids and families.
When you want a break from the sun, the pine wood behind the lido is the obvious choice. Temperatures inside the trees are usually several degrees lower than on open sand, and the gazebos scattered through the park offer quiet reading or working spots with full Wi-Fi coverage. The Ponente beach is also one of the better stretches on the Veneto coast for sunset, since you’re facing west toward the lagoon.
Activities for families and children at the resort
Families are clearly the priority here. The fenced perimeter means children can run between the play area, the sports park, and the umbrella rows without you having to track every step. There is a mini-club, and the entertainment team runs a programme from roughly mid-June through early September, full of games, mini-tournaments, dance sessions, and craft activities.
Must-do family checklist:
- Book your beach spot for the full week on arrival to lock in the same umbrella daily
- Join the morning mini-club session before the sun gets strong (typically 10:00–12:00)
- Play a round of minigolf in the shade after lunch
- Try a beach volleyball or beach tennis tournament in the late afternoon
- Stay for dinner at the seafront restaurant at least once to catch a themed evening
- Walk or cycle the seafront promenade toward the marina at dusk
