The word main is not included in the name of the Balatonfenyves Main Public Beach by accident. The massive beach grounds have everything you could possibly need: a sandy section, a rocky section, tall trees, free and decent looking bathrooms.

This place is perfect for those whose need for exercise is not satisfied by throwing a ball around in the water or popping to one of the food stands for lángos. In addition to classic options, such as the trampoline or the traditional playground, you can also stretch your muscles on the beach volleyball court. There are a few basketball hoops set up in the water: bouncing a ball in front of them will be a challenge and jump shots in water will pose their own set of difficulties as well.

A surf school has set up shop on the beach, where you can apparently learn the basics in two hours. You’ll find the regular food all-stars here with lángos, hamburger and co., but it is a good sign that at one of the food stands steak potatoes were served with our gyros platter.

Tip: Take a look around here.
