Latest reviews on Baden-Württemberg's beaches

Kunstlereck Uferanlage Kressbronn Beach
10 Jessa LORA

This beach is the smaller sibling of the busiest pier during the summer months. From June to October, you can unwind on a blanket and go for a swim. The beach offers stunning views of the lake, Kressbronner Bay, and the mountains. Just behind it, there is a grassy area for those who prefer a more comfortable setting, as well as a playground for children.

The beach is great with plenty of shaded and sunny areas. The food is reasonably priced and the potatoes with tzatziki are a must-try. The changing rooms and bathrooms are well-maintained. Though there's an entrance fee, it's quite affordable. It's advisable to park a little further away and use the parking app instead of struggling to find a spot right in front.

Strandbad Langenargen

The swimming pool at the beach was perfect for kids, complete with a fun water slide. The grassy area nearby was a great spot to relax and unwind. If you need some shade, umbrellas and sunbeds are available for rent. Unfortunately, the beach and lake were a bit disappointing due to the rocky and dirty conditions.

This is a gorgeous spot to unwind and recharge. It's perfect for taking a leisurely stroll by the water, going for a swim, or trying out some stand-up paddleboarding. I absolutely adore it! ❤️

Bodensee-Therme Konstanz

We had an absolutely amazing time here for three hours. We arrived at 12:30pm and it wasn't too crowded. The changing facilities were extremely clean, and the lockers were spacious and free to use with your wristband (just hold the wristband against the button to open and close them). The wristbands also allowed us to access the outdoor area through the footpaths. Inside, there was a large pool with a temperature of 33°C. Outside, there was another large heated pool. Additionally, there were two big slides that led into another outdoor pool, which was not heated. We could reach Lake Constance by crossing a footbridge from the outdoor area, and there were steps into the lake at the end of the bridge. The facility had both indoor and outdoor café areas that offered light meals and drinks. Although there weren't any shaded areas around the pools, there were plenty of trees and some umbrellas on the grassy area beyond the pool. Sunbeds were available both inside and outside the pools. The number 5 bus runs from the city center approximately every 30 minutes and stops right outside the entrance to the facility. The entry fee for four adults and two children was less than €50. Without a doubt, it was the best value for money in town! We had a fantastic day.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 4 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!
