👍👍 Family small area, very well maintained and priced everything in the normal range. Great seating for spectators, beach to chill.

Paradiesstrand GmbH

Lake shore swimming area

👍👍 OK. Admittedly, the sand here is almost even nicer than in Cologne! 😉 At least it covers a wide, wide area! When you're lying here on the Rhine beach, you almost don't want to believe that you're actually in the middle of Düsseldorf and not on a holiday island! The sand is really wonderfully fine!...
