2. Lupa Lake, Budakalász

This truly sea-like beach is only about 20 minutes away from Budapest. The white, sandy shores are excellent destinations for those wanting to relax as well as for extreme sports lovers.

3. Palatinus Lake, Dorog

Palatinus Lake of the Dorog Basin is a little further away, in Esztergom. However, as the clearest lake in Hungary, it is definitely worth visiting. It is a great spot to go fishing or even scuba diving! Nevertheless, if you prefer to stay dry, you can lay on the sandy beach sunbathing or play beach volleyball.
