Fondamente Nuove (30') and at S.Marco (58').
Both lines leave each hour.

 If you have to go to the beaches of Jesolo coast (Jesolo - Cavallino - Ca' Vio - Ca' Ballarin - Punta Sabbioni) can use ATVO buses departing every hour to Jesolo-Lido. Then you can change bus to your final destination. The fare ticket is about 3-4 Euro.
[see blue+ white path on the map]
A longer, more expensive but much more charming alternative is the following:
1) Linea Alilaguna to Lido di Venezia (9.81 Euro) via Venice lagoon - 58' [yellow path]
2) at Lido change to Punta Sabbioni with ACTV boat (3.10 Euro): you can buy the ticket at Lido. - 27' [orange path]
3) at Punta Sabbioni change with ATVO bus (they wait the boat) (2-3 Euro): you can buy the ticket at Punta Sabbioni before getting into the bus - 5 to 25 minuts variable by your destinationi [white path].
You have to consider that during summer Saturdays and Sundays the road from airport to Jesolo is full of car coming from Mestre and Treviso directed to the beach so that you can even spend on the bus 2 hours to get to Jesolo.
