Beach Clubs – Lido di Volano

In early spring 2022 the Lido di Volano beach clubs were just starting to tidy up for the coming season. The winter seas had deposited sand and debris in unwanted places, building up a reasonable dune along the southern end of the strip. External furniture was being reclaimed, the sand raked and swept, and paint work needed touching up. It was cold and windy, only a couple of tourists walking through the pinewood nature reserve behind the beach, and none of the clubs had customers.

This would be the first big season after the two years of the pandemic but right then it was surreal, the empty playground equipment, the raked sand and deckchairs stacked ready for the yet to arrive throngs of holiday makers.
