Lido has the beach closest to Venice, and was once prized for its "healthy air". It sits on an island in the southern lagoon of Venice, and is one of the first islands passengers on cruise ships sailing into Venice will see. Lido was one of Europe's most popular resorts in the late 1900s, and the Lido beach is still very popular with Venetians in the summertime.
