Strandbad Öhningen, also known as Kattenhorn, is a picturesque beach located in the municipality of Öhningen, Germany. It is nestled on Lake Constance, more specifically on the Untersee, and is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the area.
The beach is known for its unique natural characteristics. Unlike most beaches on Lake Constance, a portion of Strandbad Öhningen is covered with sand, creating an inviting sandy shoreline. The rest of the area features a large sunbathing lawn. The beach is surrounded by lush green grass and towering trees, providing shaded areas for visitors. The water at the beach is known for its good quality. The narrowing of Untersee creates a slight current in front of the beach, ensuring optimal swimming conditions even when the water level is low. However, some visitors may find the water to be muddy.

It features a children's playground, table tennis tables, a diving tower, and a beach volleyball court, providing a range of activities for families. In 2008, the beach underwent renovations, resulting in new sanitary facilities, changing rooms, and a restaurant with a large lakeside terrace. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, with an emphasis on freshly made pizzas and fish dishes.
