Plage de Menthon Saint Bernard

10 Landon Everest

This is the best public beach/park for swimming that I have ever visited. It has clean changing rooms, ladders for easy access to the lake, shady trees for cooling off, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Lepin La Plage

10 Lila Maris

This beach is a popular spot with plenty of people enjoying themselves to the fullest. It's a fun place to be in the summer, with a stunning lake surrounded by picturesque mountains and warm, blue waters. They even offer pedal boat rentals by the hour, which is a nice touch. Overall, it's a beautiful location that's perfect for a family picnic. What more could you ask for on a lazy Sunday getaway to unwind and relax?

Plage Saint-Jorioz

8 Oscar Radomir

The beach is really pleasant, especially on September 9th when there is no admission fee. It has sandy shores followed by pebbles, and there's also a spacious grassy area with plenty of trees. Additionally, there are convenient free restroom facilities available.

Plage de la Brune

10 Jamie Bax

The scenery at this location is truly breathtaking. It is a stunning destination. The only downside is that finding parking in the vicinity can be quite challenging, but that is to be expected in a popular tourist spot.

Plage Municipale de Talloires

10 Lorelei Evans

This is our favorite spot by the lake so far! We spent the entire day here. Despite it being a Saturday, we had no trouble finding enough space for all 10 of us. There are plenty of trees providing shade if needed. The kids were constantly entertained with diving boards, a water slide, a volleyball court, a paddling pool, and table tennis. We were able to rent life vests for our less confident swimmers from the kayak rental place, and there were multiple lifeguards on duty. The snack bar offers simple snacks like hotdogs, chips, and pizza, as well as cold drinks. We had an amazing time.

Plage d'Aiguebelette-le-Lac

10 Veronica Addison
