The first open-water beach in Budapest has opened — PHOTOS
Change language:
The first natural beach of the Hungarian capital has opened on the Buda side of Budapest. Good quality water, gastronomic experiences, sandy beach, sports and cultural facilities await visitors at SHO Beach.
Close to the city centre, in the newest quarter of the capital, the first natural beach of Budapest has opened on BudaPart. SHO Beach was formed in a receding tributary of the Danube. Thanks to this natural feature, the water is clear, there is no drift, no vortex, and 3 metres is its deepest point.
The beach experience is associated with premium gastronomy.
SHO aims to combine a high-quality beach experience with a fine-dining gastronomic adventure. The SHO Chill & Grill beach bar and the MÁK pop-up truck serve this purpose. János Mizsei’s goal at MÁK is to widely promote top-tier gastronomy. Despite his young age, Mizsei has many accolades. The MÁK pop-up truck creatively combines the beach food experience with gastronomic trends.
At the MÁK pop-up truck of SHO Beach, poppy-seed lángos, as well as kürtőskalács with poppy-seed foam and catfish hake await people. At SHO Beach Chill & Grill, you can try traditional dishes in a new way. You can choose from duck sausage, chicken fajita, hamburger, and chia pudding. In addition, ice-cold cocktails, lemonades, and refreshments help to deal with the summer heat.
A beach requires a sea. Neither Budapest nor Hungary has a sea. A river has a bank, a lake has a shore and a sea has a beach.
You are right. Hungary does not have a sea. Anyway, Lake Balaton is “the Hungarian sea”. So why not call this part of the river bank at Lágymányosi Bay a “beach”☺?
are there snakes in the water like in the Balaton?
