Frazione Brena - all beaches

The municipal beach is well-maintained and has reported sand. It also has a nearby playground that is convenient if you have small children. The water is clean and there is even a floating platform with slides.

The Suna beach is a fantastic spot that offers free access and is well-maintained. Additionally, there is a bar located just 50 meters away that serves delicious pizza directly on the beach. Despite being busy at times, the atmosphere remains enjoyable and reminiscent of being right by the sea. It's definitely worth a visit - don't miss out on the opportunity to experience it for yourself! 😎🤙

Two small beaches are divided by trees, with a sandy shore that is perfect for children. Although there is a sign at the entrance prohibiting dogs, I have seen several on the beach. This wasn't an issue for me as a dog lover, as there is no designated area for dogs only. The Beach Bar serves cappuccinos in paper cups for takeout, which tasted like they were made from a coffee machine and were overpriced at 2 €. In contrast, other beach bars serve cappuccinos at the table for €1.50. The pizza is said to be good. On a positive note, there is a large free parking area, some of which is shaded, as well as a toilet, and no entrance fee to the beach.

The small pebble beach located near Stresa's city center is a great spot to visit, especially if you're staying in the area. It's conveniently within walking distance, making it easily accessible. There are two beach bars/restaurants nearby, although we didn't have the chance to try them out. The water is crystal clear, and while it may not be as pristine as a sandy beach in the Caribbean, it's still a lovely place to take a dip. Overall, we had a pleasant experience swimming and enjoying the beach.

The lake has a lot of stones, so it's a good idea to wear water shoes if you plan on swimming. In June, from around 4 to 8 p.m., there tends to be strong winds and heavy rain in the afternoon. Make sure you're back home before then.

This beach offers stunning views of the lake and mountains, however it is not well maintained. There is a shower and plenty of rubbish bins available.
