Since comfort and entertainment is a top priority for the management of the beach, they offer sun loungers, water toys and rides for rent, outdoor showers and a lush lawn, not to mention a variety of delicious snacks.

The beach can also be safe for families with smaller children, as it is located in the Lágymányos Gulf, so you do not have to expect huge waves and eddies.

In addition to swimming and sunbathing, the only beach on the Danube in Budapest offers an opportunity to try your SUP skills, and even try out the Schiller waterbike, which is only available in two places in the country, according to borsonline.hu. In addition, families can enjoy a range of waterfront activities, such as giant waterballs, teqball, badminton and a variety of rentable sports equipment.
