Jesolo is a seaside resort on the Veneto coast, in the province of Venice in Veneto, Italy.
Jesolo stretches from the main town inland to the Adriatic coast known as Lido di Jesolo. Its sandy beach stretches between the mouth of the Sile River and that of the Piave River for about 12 km. Lido di Jesolo is a popular seaside resort during the summer season and one of the largest beaches in northeastern Italy.
One of the most popular Italian beaches, Jesolo records about 1.2 million arrivals every year for 5.4 million official presences, figures that place it in seventh place overall in Italy among tourist destinations, and the third, behind Rimini and Cavallino-Treporti, among the Italian seaside resorts . With 204,711.4 presences per thousand inhabitants, it is also one of the 50 Italian municipalities with the greatest tourist pressure .
The history of Jesolo is closely linked to that of Venice, as heir to the ancient lagoon city of Equilio, one of the founders of the lagoon league that would later lead to the birth of Venice.
The west side of the municipal territory borders the lagoon of Venice, which is part of it and is therefore part of the site which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. Since 2007, Jesolo has been a member of the Steering Committee of the UNESCO website.
