To go ashore among the calli there are several equipped marinas
All accesses to the Lagoon are named ports on the maps, but beyond each access is not a port facility with services, but rather a series of canals leading to different port settlements.
In the Lagoon itself then there are several channels marked by briccole, some of them numbered and illuminated. The outer side of the Lido is a touristically equipped beach, while on the Lagoon side the Rocchetta Canal runs along the tongue of land.
Access to the Lido presents no problems even though the minimum seabed is about 8 meters. Venice can be accessed by coming right from the Lido, or from Malamocco through the Rocchetta canal: in fact, the historic center can be reached by even large pleasure boats.
In the Grand Canal and minor canals, however, there are special rules regulate tourist traffic: traffic is allowed after 12 noon; there is a peremptory speed limit of 8 km/h or 4.3 knots); one-way traffic directions and transit bans must be observed.
