Beach in Budapest says goodbye
As Telex writes, in an unexpected turn of events, SHO Beach in Budapest has announced that it will no longer open at Kopaszi Dam. The announcement was made via a post on the beach’s official Facebook page. According to the operator, the closure is a direct result of a decision made by the owner of the area.
This decision came after approximately six months of detailed discussions regarding the current and future operations of SHO Beach. The operator expressed surprise and disappointment, noting that the closure was entirely unforeseen. Despite the extended dialogue, the outcome was unexpected and leaves the future of SHO Beach uncertain.
Here is what they wrote in their Facebook post: “We regret to inform you that due to the decision of the owner of the site, which followed some 6 months of detailed discussions about this year’s and future openings and was completely unexpected by the SHO BEACH operation, we will no longer be open and SHO BEACH will close permanently and irrevocably.
From July, you can try the delicacies of the MÁK terrace, which used to be on SHO BEACH, in the restaurant of the ECHO Residence hotel in Tihany, which will be run by our team from July onwards.”






Saying this beach offered a “beautiful environment, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of city life” does not seem compatible with saying it also offered DJ performances, themed parties and summer festivals.
