    Lovely beach! The water was a wonderful temperature. It was a bit crowded, but otherwise a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.

    Beautiful and lively. A bit noisy and smelly but I guess it's part of the charm.

    Been here quite a few times now and it's a pretty good artificial beach if you are in Lausanne, you have sand (a bit mixed with dirt) and a big grass area with lots of shades. You have at least 2 public toilets and a place where they rent some Paddles, boats, etc. Just be aware that during hot day on the weekend there is a lot of people having barbecues so there is a lot of smoke during the lunch hour.

    Overcrowded most of the times when it's warm outside, so be sure to come early enough to find a good spot! A cute place to have a little walk around and enjoy the "sea".

    I would recommend some other beach in or near Lausanne. There are many people during the weekend, which results in a thin film od sunscreen cream on the water surface. Location otherwise ok.

    Perfect place to spend a day at the beach without leaving the city. It is well organized, clean and people is respectful.

    Beautiful spot for BBQ or relaxing with friends in the summer. Can get very busy and crowded though.

    Is not a wonderful beach! I mean is not Santu Sitru or Saleccia, but is fun. Is the place where your dream came true, I wanted a boat for 4 years in Venice, never had, I came to Lausanne and then I found one in a bag for free offer in a market. Now I can go everywhere, is my gondola. Here the first trip. Now I want to return in every place where I thought that could be great to have a boat. (eg. Comacchio, Marina di Castro, Bonifacio, Lefkada and more to come)
