Plage du Rh么ne is a popular swimming spot located in Geneva. It is known for its strong current, which allows swimmers to either challenge themselves by trying to stay in one place or simply go with the flow and exit the water at a later point. Swimmers are advised to exit the water before the junction of the two rivers for safety reasons.
The beach is not particularly child-friendly and the amenities, such as toilets and changing rooms, are not of the highest quality. Despite these factors, it can get very crowded, indicating its popularity among locals and tourists alike.
The beach is easily accessible, with a trail leading back upriver from Pont Butin. Swimmers are advised to stay close to the right shore after the Jonction, where the Arve joins the Rhone, as the water can get very cold and sometimes muddy. Staying close to the right bank is both warmer and safer.
The beach offers a unique experience of swimming in the clear waters of the Rhone River, amidst swans, ducks, and fellow swimmers. Its location in the middle of Geneva makes it a surprising and delightful find for tourists.
