Garda’s beaches are ideal places to regenerate and reconnect with time and nature. Small, smooth white pebbles, the transparency of the water, variations of blue, and olive trees reminiscent of Mediterranean shores.
Whether the summer breeze blows or the sunshine tepidens the autumn, the microclimate of Italy’s largest lake cools summer afternoons and softens colder days, extending the season of sunbathing and open-water swimming.
The Beach At The Horn
From the center of Garda you can reach Al Corno beach with ease by walking ten minutes from the marina. A white pebble beach surrounded by the green Gulf of Garda that stretches for 4 km to Punta San Vigilio. The first section of the beach is bordered by buoys, which allow swimmers to swim safely and, for open-water sportsmen, to train along a 700-meter linear path.
There are bar and restaurant facilities that face directly onto the beach, as well as SUP rental.
La Cavalla Beach
Below the Rocca is the free beach La Cavalla, where you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas and enjoy the lake in serenity. At sunset, the DJ set at La Motta bar enlivens the evening where you can enjoy drinks from the beach or directly on the water, offering a boat landing. For those who want a more relaxed atmosphere, the Cavalla Beach bar, along the promenade, offers the best spot to admire the sun hiding behind Punta San Vigilio.
Lido
At the Lido you can enjoy a dip, sunbathe by renting a deck chair and wait for the sunset while sipping your favorite drink. Next to the Lido is the Lega Navale Italiana Sezione Garda, where you can take sailing lessons or rent kayaks to admire the gulf from the water.
Mermaid Cove
At Punta San Vigilio, amid the emerald blue of the lake and fiery red sunsets, lies Siren Cove. Entry to the beach is by fee and closed number to avoid overcrowding and ensure true moments of relaxation. Cala delle Sirene is a bay from which to enjoy the most striking viewpoint of Lake Garda. You can stretch out alone or with friends, on the sunbeds and under the spacious cabanas to spend summer days with friends. Not only that, under the umbrella or in the shade of the trees, you can enjoy mouth-watering delicacies and take advantage of a tender bar at all times of the day, from breakfast to dinner. The beach has free parking facilities.
Mermaid Bay
On the northernmost tip of San Vigilio is the fee-paying beach, Baia delle Sirene, a cove surrounded by greenery that faces west, where the only noise you’ll hear is that of cicadas. The beach offers sunbeds in the shade of the olive grove and a bar for lunch or drinks at sunset. The beach has ample shaded parking for a fee.
