Lido di Jesolo Live Cam

Geological Setting and Lagoon Dynamics

The Lido di Jesolo is a barrier island and coastal strand lying between the Venetian Lagoon and the Adriatic Sea. This narrow sandbar spans approximately 15 kilometers, formed by millennia of fluvial sediment deposition from the Piave River and longshore drift along the Veneto coast. Beneath a veneer of fine quartz-sand beaches lies a core of Pleistocene dune systems, their paleodunes now stabilized by maritime pines (Pinus pinaster) and tamarisk groves that help anchor the shoreline against storm surge erosion.
