User reviews
"The beach in this canton is truly stunning. However, it's important to note that it can only be accessed when the nearby Delta campsite is open, which is typically from March to November. Additionally, keep an eye on the lake level, as if it goes above 194 msl, the beach will be submerged and not accessible."

"The beach is perfect for swimming and ideal for families with children due to its stunning sandbanks. Occasionally, a boat selling ice cream and refreshing drinks cruises by."
