Lake Garda is the main Italian lake and one of the most important water reserves in Europe.

From Malcesine you can take a cable car onto Monte Baldo for some mountain walking or Mountainbiking and superb views. There are many bike rentals at Malcesine..

The boats that link lake Garda towns are an enjoyable way to travel, you can rent one from many town's at Lake Garda or you can travel on one of the ferry services which run all year round.

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.

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.

Visit the old port of Torbole where you can enjoy some of the best windsurfiing in Italy.There are many Surf rental shops for beginers and experts. If it's just for a relaxing stroll the charming old streets of Limone and the castle a Roman Villa in Sirmione are two places you will want to add to your list of places to visit.
