Pinta Beach
10 Manohar Pulenthiran

In July 2023, I visited Pinta Beach in Raunheim with my two-year-old son. The parking area was generously sized, the employees were exceptionally welcoming, and the location was impeccably maintained. There were numerous enjoyable activities available for both children and adults. Additionally, there was a wide variety of food and beverage choices. In general, one could easily pass an entire day at this location. It is also worth noting that they are open on Sundays as well. My visit was truly fantastic.

We made a reservation for three people, and everything went smoothly. The waitstaff was extremely friendly, and we ordered a salad, a pasta dish, and a burger. The food was quite tasty. However, the highlight of our experience was definitely the breathtaking view of the lake and the invigorating breeze. It's absolutely ideal for a summer day or evening.
