Latest reviews on Carinthia's beaches

Strandbad Weissensee
10 Rex Hunter

The experience of enjoying the lake at this beach is absolutely delightful. With the stunning mountain backdrop and the incredibly soft and crystal-clear water, it truly offers everything you could possibly desire. And to top it off, the gastronomy surpasses all expectations!

Strandbad Stockenboi
10 Lysandra Thornevale

This place is truly perfect! I paid €4.50 to get in. The facilities were very clean and the water is incredibly blue! Since you can only access this spot by car, there aren't many tourists. There is also a simple hiking trail that goes all around the lake.

Strandbad Sittlinger
8 Nico Corral

We stayed near the sea and had a great time with the electric boats and stand-up paddling. The area is lovely, extremely clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Unlike most other places, there is no entrance fee, and there are numerous water activities to choose from. The prices are reasonable, and the location is easy to locate.

Seebad Ossiacher See
8 Lara Favian

We spent a night at this campground, and it was pleasant. The price for one night was a bit high, but the stunning mountains and the lake surrounding it were absolutely breathtaking. I wasn't particularly fond of the restaurant at the campground, but overall, the location itself was fantastic. I would definitely recommend it.

Parkbad Dobriach
10 Kellan Voss

This lakeside venue on Lake Millstatersee in Austria is excellent. It offers a variety of water sports facilities and has a cafe serving Italian and Austrian food. There is plenty of natural shade from trees in the open grassed areas, making it a great spot for families with children. The village of Dobriach is just 2 km away and has good restaurants, hotels, and bars. In the winter, skiing slopes are only 12 minutes away by car in Badkleinkirchheim.

FKK Strand
8 Natasha Smith

The red wine they serve is not chilled enough; it would be great if they could cool it to around 18 degrees.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
