User reviews
"This beach has a gorgeous view of the Swiss mountains and the water, though chilly due to its mountain origin, is crystal clear and definitely worth a visit!"
Wyatt Dulas
"The Walensee beach is stunning, however, there is a lot of wood debris scattered around, making it hard to walk around without being mindful of the debris in the sand. Apart from that, it's a great spot to unwind and take a dip. It's also perfect for raft building activities."
