Lovely spot for a getaway and a dip close to Geneva. Pristine water, no bugs (late September), picnic and unwind. Public restrooms available, but grilling is not allowed.

Arguably one of the top beaches in St Tropez with its own designated parking area. The only downside is that it is a bit distant from the city.

Visited the beach today with my furry companions hoping they could take a dip. Unfortunately, the beach no longer permits dogs! What a disappointment. Save yourself the trouble.

This beach was once open to dogs, providing a wonderful experience for our furry friends. It was the sole beach where dogs could roam freely and enjoy themselves. Unfortunately, a few months back, dogs were prohibited from entering. It's truly unfair that dogs are no longer permitted on the beach, especially considering it was their only designated spot to have fun.

A fantastic local spot to unwind, go for a swim in the lake, spend time with loved ones, fish, reflect, and savor the summer in a location with positive energy. The pebbled shoreline itself stands out as one of the more pleasant ones in the region, featuring a clever, divided layout that can host a decent number of guests without feeling crowded, even during busy afternoons and weekends. Our furry companions are also invited. The well-kept surrounding park maintains a lovely natural feel, with various duck species making their home there. Situated on a promontory at the mouth of the Versoix river, the park offers breathtaking views of the lake, the mountains, and, particularly at sunset, Geneva.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

Plage de la Becassine (Geneva) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. 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 Plage de la Becassine (Geneva) 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 Plage de la Becassine for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
