Latest reviews on Salzburg's beaches

Strandbad Mattsee
10 Andrei Popescu

The beach is absolutely stunning, complete with beach volleyball courts. There is a small fee of approximately 10 euros per adult for entry. The lake water is crystal clear, the grass is well-maintained, and there are plenty of shaded areas. However, it's important to note that dogs are strictly prohibited.

Strandbad Maishofen
10 Zephyr Stormborn

The entrance to this hidden gem of a beach at Zeller See may be easy to miss, but once you find it, you'll be greeted by friendly staff at the snack shack and a good selection of food and drinks. It's the perfect spot to relax on hot summer days by the water.

Primusbauer Strand
8 Nolan Thorne

Visited this beach for the second time in a year and found that not much has changed. The lady at the reception was very helpful and accommodating. Just a heads up, showers require a 50 cent payment, so make sure to have some coins on hand.

Naturstrandbad Zell am Wallersee

Wallersee Strand
10 Zin

The chicken wings were not up to par for supper.

Waldbad Furberg
10 solara pasta

The Wolfgangsee beach is the ultimate destination. It's absolutely free during the late season.
