Strandbad Buochs-Ennetburgen

We recently completed a two-day live saving course at Strandbad Buochs Ennerbürgen. While we didn't have much interaction with the staff, they were incredibly helpful. The beach area is well-marked with pictograms, making it easy to understand what is allowed. The restaurant serves delicious food, and I highly recommend trying the Badiburger with Salad - it was outstanding in both taste and presentation! If you plan on visiting, don't forget to bring sunscreen. Enjoy a safe swim and make the most of this beautiful location.

This is a wonderful spot to rejuvenate, although the swimming pool may be too petite for a workout. The ocean is refreshing, and the staff are accommodating.
