User reviews

"I finally made it to this beach and found it to be quite peaceful on a Monday morning. The scenery was breathtaking and invigorating. However, it may not be the most affordable option if your main goal is just to take a swim."

Evan Champion

"The autumn hues of this spot are simply breathtaking. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed frolicking in the sand and water. The dock is a popular spot for swimming and sunbathing, and there's also a small playground in the vicinity."

What to do in Mythenquai Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Mythenquai Beach can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Mythenquai Beach you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own.

In most cases, the question What to do on Mythenquai Beach implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.
