💡 Tips

  • Take the Vaporetto (lines 14 or 15) for a scenic and affordable ride to Venice instead of private water taxis.
  • Book parking online in advance during summer to secure a spot near the terminal and save money.
  • Avoid the water immediately next to the ferry docks; head towards Ca' Savio for much cleaner, quieter beaches.
  • Renting a bicycle is the best way to explore the lagoon paths of Litorale del Cavallino.
