Beach description
There are several "wild" beaches on the island. Some of them are covered with sand, others - pebbles. On the island it is easy to find a place on the shore, sheltered by natural shade.
Sant Erasmo is located almost at the entrance to the Venetian lagoon, and not from the Adriatic Sea (in contrast to the beaches of Lido di Venice and Pelestrina). It is beautiful and picturesque, but it is for swimming that it is better to choose the beaches of neighboring islands.

There is a cafe on the coast and you can rent a boat or boat. On the island you can find a lot of options for renting an apartment or apartment. There are hotels, but the choice is small.

However, it is necessary to remember that a long summer with the scorching sun, warm sea and pleasant sea breeze attracts crowds of tourists.
