Sant'Erasmo is an island in the Venetian Lagoon lying north of the Lido and north east of Venice.
The island was a port attached to Murano in the eighth century, but is now known for market gardening. Ruined fortifications including the Fort of Maximillian ring the isle, while an annual boat race takes place around it. Sant'Erasmo is also known for the waders on sand banks in the Lagoon around it.
