The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Leuchtturm Strand (St. Gallen) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Leuchtturm Strand for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing.

We arrived early in the morning and enjoyed a wonderful time at the lighthouse until lunch. It's a very calm, beautiful, and inspiring place! There's also a toilet and a store just across the road.

Fantastic place for taking photos and spending some time. The scenery is stunning, and there's a grill right on the beach. Street parking is available for a fee of €1 per hour, if I recall correctly.
