Budapest’s sandy “seashore” opens next week
According to turizmus.com, Lupa Beach is starting the 2025 summer season with a free entrance weekend next Friday (6 June). Thanks to its development, the beach has become one of the most popular Hungarian tourism hotspots in the last 10 years. Lupa Beach offers sunbathing, scuba diving, beach and water sports, entertainment for families, foods and drinks from all over the world, cocktail bars and quality wines. The lake is crystal clear, which remains one of its biggest and most unique attractions.
Today, the beach season will kick off at Lupa Beach with the party of Euphoria at the Lupa My Car Beach, but the beach will not open for visitors. Next Saturday, Lupa’s unique SUN & FUN programme will start, which is an afternoon music event. According to the organisers’ promise, its sound volume will not disturb locals. Among others, the performers include Tom Noize, DJ Bia Breda, and Infragandhi.
Additional parties at Lupa
On the Night of the Beaches, there will be a Mamma Mia Beach Party, while at the end of August, you may blow off steam at the Shake It on the Beach party.
Lupa pays special attention to families with kids. Therefore, they introduced a special voucher which allows kids to participate in thematic children’s programmes while parents can enjoy the beach and the entertainment it offers. Each kid ticket will include two vouchers.
After schools go on summer break, the beach will organise the Lupa Kids daycare summer camps. On 8 June, anyone interested can ask the camp organisers and discover the programs on a free open day.
Travel, beach courts
Lupa Beach prepares for the summer with professional beach courts; you can find Central Europe’s biggest wakeboard centre, and the Quadro Watersports with water bananas and aqua slider services here. You may rent an SUP or participate in sailing lessons, surfing or beach volleyball.
Apart from Lupa Beach, the Öböl (Gulf) Beach will also open to visitors for free between 5 and 7 June.
From 2025, visitors can travel with electric transfer buses from the Békásmegyer and Budakalász HÉV stations. You may also get there by bike on the bike path running near the beach. You may place your bike in the BLOCK Bike Racks safely.
Lupa’s original opening date was 30 May, but it was postponed due to uncertain weather forecasts.
