This beach is likely the most stunning one in Switzerland. It offers ample parking spots and the chance to have a barbecue under the shade of the trees. The sand on the beach is also present in the water, which is crystal clear. As someone has mentioned before, it resembles a sea.

The beach is amazing, with an endless expanse of sand that stretches as far as the eye can see. It's a great alternative to the sea, as there's no salt to contend with. You can swim out to the raft without worrying about hitting any large rocks or seaweed. My kids love playing on the small sand dune, and there's a snack bar nearby as well as a playground for younger children and beach volleyball for everyone. The only downside is that it can be a bit tricky to find the restrooms if you're not familiar with the area.

The beach boasts a lovely expanse of sand and the lake is crystal clear. It cost 7 CHF to park for 4 hours, and on a Sunday, it took around 5 minutes to locate a free parking spot.

The lake beach is lovely, but it tends to get quite crowded. Unfortunately, there are parking spots available, but they are located on an asphalt lot without any shade.

The beach is stunning, but unfortunately, the only way to get to the water is by using the quay's stairs. The water is crystal clear and there are fish swimming around. The campsite is lovely and offers a range of dining options from affordable buffets to upscale restaurants, including a great pizzeria. Although there isn't a playground directly on the beach, there is one available on the campsite which also has a small supermarket.
