La Cure d'Air Beach: family swimming by Lake Geneva in Morges

A corner of Lake Geneva just for families in Morges

Nestled along the Promenade Général Guisan, La Cure d'Air beach is one of those places where you lay down your towel and immediately feel on vacation. There is a large lawn, trees for shade during the hot hours, and a small cove that gently descends into the lake. The view stretches towards Lake Geneva and, on clear days, all the way to the mountains across. It's a public spot, free of charge, and deeply family-friendly, just a stone's throw from the center of Morges and the Parc de l'Indépendance. Enough to turn a simple afternoon into a real outing by the water, without breaking the bank.

What your children will discover

Here, children have space to run, swim, and play. The lawn invites free play and picnics, while the small cove allows the youngest to splash near the shore. A playground completes the setup, with swings, a slide, and climbing structures. Older kids can enjoy swimming, jumping from designated areas, and taking advantage of the sports facilities (ping-pong, pétanque, basketball). In short, everyone finds their rhythm, from the little one discovering the water to the teenager wanting to move.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, very much like a "neighborhood beach": you spread out a blanket, bring out the snacks, and the day stretches between swims and impromptu games. Families happily settle in the shade of the trees, children go back and forth between the water and the playground, and you encounter locals from Morges coming for a dip after work. You can plan a picnic, enjoy the tables, and even organize a barbecue. It's the kind of simple and warm place you return to without getting tired of it all summer long.
