What is Baia Blu Beach?
Baia Blu Beach is a modern lido near Lido Altanea, roughly 4 km from the historic centre of Caorle in the Province of Venice.
This is a fully equipped beach club, with around 500 umbrellas and roughly 1,000 sunbeds, plus a cocktail bar and a beachfront restaurant. It has earned a Blue Flag for water quality and environmental standards.
Its bar was named “Best Beverage Beach Club Veneto 2024” in the national guide to Italy’s best beach clubs, one of only six establishments recognised in the region that year.
Location and how to get to Baia Blu Veneto
Baia Blu Beach is located near Lido Altanea, between Porto Santa Margherita and Duna Verde, a short walk from the Pareus Beach Resort.
- By car: Take the A4 motorway and exit at San Stino di Livenza or San Donà di Piave, then follow signs for Caorle and Porto Santa Margherita. Three parking areas serve the beach, and there is a supermarket close by.
- By public transport: ATVO runs seasonal bus services that connect Caorle, Porto Santa Margherita, and, in summer, Lido Altanea and Duna Verde. Timetables are on the ATVO website.
- By bike or on foot: Cycle paths link Altanea with Porto Santa Margherita, Caorle, and Eraclea. The Caorle on Bike e-bike sharing scheme has a station at the Porto Santa Margherita car park.
- By ferry: From May to September, a ferry crosses the Livenza between Caorle and Porto Santa Margherita and takes bikes, which makes for a scenic approach.
If you are staying in Lido Altanea itself, you may be able to reach the sand via the free shuttle train that runs between the villages and the beach throughout the day, which is popular with children and saves moving the car.

Exploring the surrounding area
The historic centre of Caorle, with its colourful houses, fishermen’s casoni and the Madonna dell’Angelo sanctuary on the seafront, is a short trip away and good for an evening stroll or shopping. Alternatively, Porto Santa Margherita has a marina and a lively cluster of restaurants and bars.
- Caorle old town: pastel streets, the seafront sanctuary, and waterfront walks
- Pra’ delle Torri Golf Club: an 18-hole course near Lido Altanea
- Sporting Club Lido Altanea: tennis, beach volleyball, five-a-side, mini golf, and more
- Venice, Murano, and Burano: reachable for a day trip by boat or train
- Treviso, Padua, and Verona: inland cultural towns within easy reach by train
- Coastal walks: from the Baja Blanca area, you can follow the shore past Baia Blu and into the green park behind it, where there is a small lake with ducks and swans
Tips for a perfect day at Baia Blu
It is always best to plan your holiday, especially during the peak summer months.
Must-do checklist
- Book your spot in advance for July and August, and pick your zone (Family, Pet Area, or Silence)
- Arrive early to claim a good row and beat the crowds
- Have lunch before 3 pm, or plan to dine in the evening
- Bring cash as a backup, though cards are widely accepted
- If you are travelling with a dog, ask for the welcome kit on arrival
- Stay for sunset drinks at the bar, which is what it is best known for
What to bring
- Sunscreen and a hat for the open Adriatic sun

- A book or your own shade plan if you choose the Silence zone
Best time to visit and local attractions
| Period | What to expect |
| May to mid-June | Quieter beach, mild sea, lower prices; some services still ramping up |
| Late June | Warm, lively but not yet peak crowds; a strong all-round choice |
| July to August | Hottest weather, full programme of music and events, busiest and priciest |
| September | Warm sea, thinner crowds, relaxed pace; an underrated time to go |
