Arolo Beach, formally known as Spiaggia di Arolo, is a public beach located in the Arolo area of Leggiuno, situated on the shores of Lake Maggiore. This locale is recognized for its picturesque natural scenery, characterized by the lake's inviting waters and the surrounding lush greenery. The beach is notable for its grassy shore, a unique feature that sets it apart from traditional sandy beaches.
The beach is particularly family-friendly, offering a playground where children can play and large trees that provide ample shade for those who wish to take a break from sunbathing. It is also accessible for disabled individuals, ensuring it is welcoming for all visitors. In terms of amenities, the beach offers nearby cafes for refreshments, as well as showers and bathrooms for visitors' convenience.
Reaching Arolo Beach requires a turn from Via Europa onto Via Lago Maggiore, with the journey continuing on the same road until the beach is reached. The beach is equipped with a small free parking lot. However, it is suggested to utilize the two parking lots located in the center, likely due to limited spaces in the beachfront lot.
While the beach is generally well-maintained and clean, it can offer a different experience compared to traditional sandy beaches due to its grassy terrain. For those seeking a bit of adventure, it is possible to swim out to a formation known as "the rocks" and engage in diving from various heights, adding a touch of thrill to the serene setting of Arolo Beach.
