Céligny Beach
Want a day by the lake, with family and without breaking the bank? Nestled between its small port and a shaded strip of grass, the beach of Céligny is a quiet spot in the canton of Geneva, perfect for splashing around, picnicking, and enjoying the view of the Alps.
Why choose Céligny for a family outing?
In the summer, Céligny's beach is one of the best-kept secrets in the region: shaded lawn, clear water, and a family atmosphere, without the crowds of the large Geneva beaches. One can easily spend the afternoon between swimming and sandcastles.
Just a stone's throw from the village, the Bondex woods offer a nature walk accessible to all ages: underbrush, clearings, and observing little creatures on the agenda. And for children who still have energy, the village playground, coupled with a street workout area, allows them to climb and hang while parents relax on a bench.
Beach, forest, and play: Céligny brings together the three ingredients for a successful family outing in a small package. A gentle getaway, to be combined with the discovery of the neighboring Vaud villages of Founex or Coppet.
