Un' oasi di flora e fauna tutelata dal WWF

Si presenta come una successione di dune che, dalla battigia antistante la spiaggia, si elevano via via verso l'interno, in dune embrionali, dune mobili e dune stabilizzate (quelle meno soggette all'erosione dei venti), fino al nucleo boschivo più interno, caratterizzato da una pineta creata da un rimboschimento del dopoguerra.

Pellestrina

The first mention of settlements on the island dates trom the beginning of the IX century when King Pepin tried to invaade Venice but was defeated. On 29 June 965 Hungarian invaders were defeated in Pellestrina right on the spot where the church of S. Pietro stands today, since it was built on purpose to commemorate that victorious day. After the War of Chioggia, during which Pellestrina was destroyed, ire town was rebuilt by the four families Busetto, Vianello.

After varying vicissitudes during which Pellestrina was a separate Municipality, it was finally incorporated into the Municipality of Venice in 1923.
