Latest reviews on Schwyz's beaches

Seeburg beach
10 LJ LJ

This Lido is hands down the best in the world for people of all ages. Whether you're a kid, adult, or young adult looking for a stunning view and delicious food, this is the place to be. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the pool is of the highest quality.

Hopfraben beach

The water is clean, but it's quite rocky, so I suggest bringing water shoes without holes. The playground and sandy area aren't very clean. While we were trying to clean the sand off our shoes at the shower station, a woman rudely cut in line, but everyone else was generally nice. The staff member was considerate and seemed to be aware of how the weather could impact swimming conditions.

Seebad Arth Beach
10 Lian Yu

We spent most of the summer at this beach. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is nice, and there is plenty of natural shade under the trees. You can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas, and there are activities like beach volleyball, table tennis, a kids water play area, outdoor and indoor showers, and fussball available.

Einsiedeln Beach
10 Hervin Wulay

Top spot in the area with a stunning vista of the Alps

Hallenbad Lido

This is a truly magical spot, with a stunningly clear lake surrounded by lush valleys that are filled with delightful scents. It's the perfect place to unwind and completely let go.
