Anchorages Pellestrina Laguna Veneta, is a fascinating place carved out of the same lagoon. We are not talking about a dilapidated dock with multiple functions or rich in naval services. Certainly, however, its credibility is firmly built on its reliability and extraordinary tourist location. Pellestrina represents one of the narrowest coastlines dividing the lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.
Roughly 10 km long, it is surprising for its meager geographical connotation, and at the same time for the interest it arouses. First of all, because of the presence of the town Pellestrina and its proximity, in the southern part, to San Pietro in Volta. In addition, from the anchorage, Venice and Venice Lido are easily accessible, not to mention the Port of Chioggia a short sea distance away.
In short, a very special setting and rich in historical importance, partly due to its birth that sees the evocative chapter of the little-known War of Chioggia. Not being a ‘deep inlet and remaining protected by the southern coast, it enjoys good ventilation but no danger from the point of view of currents.
We are talking about a very reliable mooring point for local boats. Particularly favored by sailboats, it is very well regarded for overnight moorings, in the transit routes leading to the reach of Venice Lido. Among other things, the current of winds coming from the south are highly favored by sails that can afford safe sailing with excellent driving satisfaction.
In addition to recreational boats of modest size, the mooring is also beaten by small fishing boats, since both Pellestrina and San Pietro in Volta have typical fishing casoni characteristic of the lagoon shoal.
A frequent attraction of tourists, in fact, the two towns are two wonders to be discovered. Beyond the characteristic part of the two towns, it is possible to enjoy incredible views and from the very famous sunsets that always frame it, in all the views that accompany the days in the lagoon.
Wanting to open up the map of one’s itinerary more, it is also possible to visit Burano and Torcello, not to mention the picturesque Island of Poveglia. At least for the excuse of the many quaint restaurants that make all locations on the island, a real attraction.
In all these possibilities for travel in the lagoon, Rada Pellestrina, is widely used. Between the breathtaking views, the country’s tourism and the winds conducive to sails, boats that do not like to stay less than two days in the place are rare.
Rada Pellestrina Laguna Veneta, is thus an amazing pearl of the Adriatic Sea, and invites safe daily and overnight anchorages, before resuming the open sea voyage, to the major and most famous lido locations.
