This beach is fantastic for both relaxation and fitness. Additionally, the view of the Swiss Mountains from the top is breathtaking. I am lucky to live close by.

Strandbad Buochs-Ennetburgen

We recently completed a two-day live saving course at Strandbad Buochs EnnerbĂĽrgen. While we didn't have much interaction with the staff, they were incredibly helpful. The beach area is well-marked with pictograms, making it easy to understand what is allowed. The restaurant serves delicious food, and I highly recommend trying the Badiburger with Salad - it was outstanding in both taste and presentation! If you plan on visiting, don't forget to bring sunscreen. Enjoy a safe swim and make the most of this beautiful location.

This is a wonderful spot to rejuvenate, although the swimming pool may be too petite for a workout. The ocean is refreshing, and the staff are accommodating.

Seebad Sempach
10 Nolan Wilde

This place has a charming beach atmosphere with a fantastic park and a quality restaurant. The prices are slightly higher than average, but they are typical for the region. In addition to the lido, there is also the TCS camping site. There are plenty of parking options nearby, and the tube is very convenient with a daily rate of 5 CHF. The water is pleasantly warm, and the beach is well-maintained with good supervision. If you visit on beautiful days or weekends, it's best to come early as it tends to get crowded by midday.
