Spiaggia Pubblica di Bellagio

The Spiaggia Pubblica di Bellagio, often referred to as San Giovanni Beach, is a popular destination located on the shores of Bellagio, a picturesque Italian village famous for its Mediterranean landscapes and lakeside architecture. The beach is part of the Gulf of Lecco and is situated in the Riviera dei Limoni, a region renowned for its vineyards and historic villas.

The beach is characterized by its rocky and pebbly terrain, set against the backdrop of large, green cliffs. It is recommended for visitors to wear water shoes or flip flops when swimming due to the nature of the beach's surface. Notably, despite its popularity, the beach is known not to become overly crowded, particularly for those who arrive early in the day.

The beach offers a raft for visitors to relax on, and the waters are known for their clarity and cool temperatures, which provide a refreshing contrast to the warm Mediterranean climate. The beach also boasts panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, making it a scenic spot for sunbathing and relaxation.

Visitors can also take advantage of the on-site bar, which serves a selection of snacks and drinks. However, it should be noted that there are no public bathrooms available at the beach, with the only facilities being customer-only bathrooms at the beach bar.

In addition to its natural beauty, the beach is bordered by pine and olive trees, creating a tranquil and secluded atmosphere. Nearby, there is also the Trattoria and Restaurant which offers waterfront dining.

The beach is open to the public and free to enter. It is located in the vicinity of the village of Bellagio, offering a peaceful respite from the bustling tourist spots.
