Lake Garda, where to visit

At the beautiful lake town of Riva del Garda a short two minute walk along the paved lake side path will bring you to a long stretch of smooth pebble beach, it is a beautiful stretch of beach you don't want to miss. Blue-green mountains dip straight into the lake at this end, and the beach spreads out in a thin, but long arc toward Torbole where you will find many widsurfers and sailing boats enjoying the cool breeze which comes down from monte baldo.

To reach the beach from the main piazza in Riva turn towards the lake and follow the left path past Hotel del Sole and continue until you see the small fortified building on its own island (La Rocca). Continue to follow this path along the lakeshore until you pass a series of wooden stalls selling handicrafts, a restaurant and a pedalo rental service. You will find the beach over the wooden bridge in front of you.
