August In Stresa -- Beaches
Loco Beach, at the Carciano imbarcadero on Stresa's eastern border. From this beach you can eat at the Loco Beach Club and Ristorante, watch the cable car as it travels over your head, and enjoy the calm waters of the Golfo Borromeo.The temperature is in the upper 20s every day and the sun shining. Luckily there are many beaches along the Lago Maggiore coastline. Don't think wide, mile-long expanses of beach.. think more small, semiprivate sections where one can sunbathe or cool down in the lake. All are close to some sort of refreshment stand or small restaurant, or bring your own with you.
This small rocky beach is in Stresa, across from the Astoria Hotel on the Lungolago, and next to Caffe Bar Verbanella and the children's playground.
This is the Lido Blu beach, really almost hidden behind the Lido Blu bar. The newly refurbished, clean and sandy beach is public and yet quiet. You can find it in Stresa across the street from the Regina Palace Hotel.
The Lido Beach Club, in Baveno, one of my favorite spots for an aperitivo or to watch the sun set. And it's a great beach during the day where chairs and umbrellas can be rented.
In Feriolo, two villages to the east of Stresa along Lago Maggiore, there is a sandy and tranquil beach. The tiny town has several charming restaurants along the lake and closes to cars each evening in the summer. It can be reached by bus or ferry.
Further afield, in Cannobio near the Swiss border, the winds are perfect for windsurfing and sailing, thanks to the convergence of two valleys and a different facing direction on the lake. Cannobio is a beautiful town worth visiting, about 40 minutes from Stresa by car, bus, or ferry.August... see more about it here.
