Malamocco was the first, and for a long time, the only settlement on the Lido of Venice barrier island. It was the location of the original home of the Doge of Venice. Located just south of the island's center, it is part of the Lido-Pellestrina borough of the Comune of Venice. It is sometimes mis-identified as Metamaucum, though the latter town was located on a nearby island, and was submerged by rising sea levels.Malamocco has a parish church now devoted to Santa Maria Assunta, but which was originally dedicated to Madonna della Marina, "Our Lady of the Sea".

Lido's golden sanded beaches are a great hideaway for Venetians seeking a bit of time out to enjoy the sun and sea while staying close to home. Lido is one of least crowded parts of the Adriatic coast but thanks to its close vicinity to Venice, it is the perfect holiday spot for tourists who want to combine culture with beach time. Once the island was a drawcard for Europe's noble elite. From 1857, the year in which the first great bathing establishment was built, tourists began to arrive making it Europe's most elegant seaside get away.From that golden era the only things to survive are the typical wooden capannas (beach huts) where one can change, eat and find some welcome shade during the hottest part of the day. This was a something special that other parts of Europe didn't have. The existence of the capanna meant that Lido was voted in the American magazine AskMen, one of the hot spot beaches in the world.

The Alberoni beach is protected by the WWF and is a large, wild space continuously growing thanks to the protection it receives from the dyke at the mouth of the port. There is very little construction here, therefore the wildlife and vegetation thrives. It is a habitat for many different marine birds, among them the rare bee eater and Kentish plover as well as the ordinary gull and garzette. The continuous changing landscape is witnessed by the fact that the old Fort, the Alberoni Fort, which is the golf club of today, were first built close to the water's edge and are now a few hundred metres away.

The legend has it that it was a small incident occurred during the visit of Henry Ford – President of Ford Motor Company – to originate the idea of creating a golf course on the Venice Lido. Disembarking at the Hotel Excelsior in 1928 with its bag and clubs, Mr. Ford asked his friend Count Giuseppe Volpi di Misurata to try himself out playing at the nearest links. Regretfully, his host had to reply that there were no golf links in Venice and set out never to embarrass himself like that again in his life, although this sport was almost unheard of in Italy at the time. Count Volpi di Misurata, then shareholder and President of CIGA, the Italian Company of Grand Hotels, immediately started to search for a suitable area where to design a course abreast with the elegant architecture and facilities already existing on the island.
