Less known beaches to visit in Hungary

Summer has very well started, summer holiday started in schools. The scorching heat is also here. By the start of the holidays, beaches are gradually opening across Hungary. The summer campaign of the Hungarian Tourism Agency (Magyar Turisztikai Ügynökség, MTÜ) contributes to the successful high season in the towns offering water experiences.

Beaches across the country to attract many visitors

With the start of the school holidays, water attractions across the country are expected to attract more and more visitors, and will continue to be a magnet for tourists in the summer, according to turizmus.com. In recent years, Hungary’s beaches have been significantly improved, with family-friendly and accessible services, and a variety of sports and leisure facilities.

The renewal of 140 open-air bathing sites in a total of 73 settlements across the country has been made possible by the government with domestic funding, the Hungarian Tourism Agency said in a statement.

At Lake Balaton alone, there are more than 100 beaches to choose from, almost two thirds of which are completely free of charge, measured by length of beach.

The importance of spas for tourism is illustrated by the fact that almost one third of Hungary’s rural accommodation turnover is generated in the major spa towns. In terms of the number of nights spent, 8 of the 10 most popular rural settlements are spa towns. The remaining two are on the shores of Lake Balaton. Balatonlelle, Zamárdi and Zánka join the spa towns with the highest number of overnight stays in the beach season from May to September.
