Water sports Annecy

This is the public beach on the east side of the lake, much appreciated by residents of Annecy for its green setting and high-quality environment. Just a stone's throw from the town center and close to the Impérial, this beach is one of the most renowned in the area. With its 12,000^m2 of fine sand, clean water, diving boards and waterslides, sports fields and play areas, the spacious beach, planted with flowers, offers a family atmosphere that is much appreciated by bathers and strollers alike. Showers, changing rooms, bar and self-service restaurant. So, as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, don't hesitate to head for the beach! Numerous restaurants nearby.

Access to this renowned and formerly private beach is now free. Close to Le Pâquier and L'Impérial, this grassy, supervised beach is directly accessible from the bike path, and is a great place to meet up with family - supervised beach - and friends. There are plenty of facilities to make the most of a day by the lake, with your feet in the water: slides (depending on the lake's water level, which can be too low in high season), inflatable games, mini-golf, a paddling pool for the little ones, beach volleyball and badminton courts for sports enthusiasts, and a lawn for relaxing sunbathing. Are you in California? The Impérial beach is just as good!

Of all the public and municipal beaches lining Lake Annecy, let's start with one of the closest and most accessible from the town center (by bike path and public transport): the Plage des Marquisats. Every effort is made to ensure the comfort and safety of users, with lifeguards on hand to supervise swimming. Floating wheelchairs are available for people with reduced mobility to facilitate their access to the water. Sanitary facilities and snack bar on site.

It is one of the largest and most frequented beaches by young people and families in summer, who easily extend the swim with an improvised picnic on the lawns punctuated by clumps of trees to preserve themselves from a sun that would become too untimely. The sand and gravel bay allows children to walk several meters and its rocky peninsula attracts those who wish to swim more quietly in the distance.
