Latest reviews on Fribourg's beaches

Muntelier Strandbad
6 Lorelei Zander

The beach is great for relaxing, but it's unfortunate that the wait time for food service is quite long (45 minutes). The organization could definitely use some improvement.

Portalban Plage
10 Luka Petrovski

This beach is likely the most stunning one in Switzerland. It offers ample parking spots and the chance to have a barbecue under the shade of the trees. The sand on the beach is also present in the water, which is crystal clear. As someone has mentioned before, it resembles a sea.

Plage publique Grande Gouille
10 Lier Tilo

Plage de Cheyres
10 The White Wizard Gandalf

This charming beach is a hidden gem! It's not overly crowded, the water is refreshingly clean, and the sandy beach is perfect for lounging. Families with children will appreciate the variety of games available, and there's even green space nearby for picnics or a game of frisbee. Overall, a lovely spot for a day at the beach.

Gletterens plage
10 Lila Garcia Hernandez

Very small, but very good.

Cote plage
