The lighthouse adjacent to the beach was reconstructed in the 1950s after the original structure was destroyed during World War II.
The beach is positioned at the confluence of the Piave River and the Adriatic Sea, influencing the local sediment composition.
The area is a frequent location for local windsurfers due to the specific air currents generated by the river mouth.
The dunes near the lighthouse are protected areas intended to prevent coastal erosion.
Lighthouse Beach, known locally as Spiaggia del Faro, is situated at the eastern edge of the Jesolo coastline where the Sile river mouth meets the Adriatic Sea. The beach is distinguished by the adjacent Faro di Piave Vecchia, a functional lighthouse that marks the entry point into the river harbor. This area is characterized by its wide, sandy shoreline and relatively shallow waters. Unlike the more commercialized central sectors of Jesolo, this beach offers a more natural environment with dunes and sparse vegetation. The beach provides expansive views of the Venetian lagoon and the Adriatic horizon. It serves as a popular spot for observing maritime traffic entering and exiting the river port.
The path leading to the base of the lighthouse offers a clear angle of the structure against the Adriatic Sea.
Bring beach footwear as the sand can reach high temperatures during mid-summer afternoons.
Visit during the shoulder season to observe local bird species that frequent the quietest stretches near the river mouth.
Check local wind forecasts, as the proximity to the river estuary can lead to sudden changes in coastal conditions.
Do not attempt to swim near the river mouth channel, as strong currents and maritime traffic pose significant safety risks.
Beach services and lifeguard supervision are limited to the summer season; off-season access is available but lacks amenities.
Public beach conduct applies; avoid walking through protected dune areas which are fenced off for conservation.
