We used the walkway along the lake to walk from Garda to Bardolino. It was beautifully scenic and a great way to see another town on the lake. It stretches beyond these two towns so renting bikes would be a great way to see even more. A very safe walkway and a must do if in the area in my opinion.

Punta San Vigilio is an enchanting paradisiac peninsula property of the aristocratic family of the Counts “Guarienti di Brenzone” located in the east coast of Lake Garda, ~50 min by car from Verona, 5 min from the lake resort village of “Garda”, and it is widely regarded as one of the most romantic spots across Europe. Its fame has grown thanks to it being an elegant/picturesque retreat cove that has long inspired artists, philosophers, writers and politicians such as Napoleon, Tsar Alexander II, Winston Churchill, Prince Charles, King Juan Carlos of Bourbon, Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, who slept on its shores at the XVI century “Locanda San Vigilio”, a luxurious hotel facing the idyllic bay. The walk towards the bay is epic: along a cypress lane down a cobblestone path through crenellated medieval gates, lit by the light of old lanterns you reach a patio where past a threshold you flow into the pier. Here you can nowadays have a meal and drink under the restaurant pergola. The road towards Punta San Vigilio is as well breathtaking: Bordered one side by majestic vertical cliffs and on the other by the limpid, luxuriant green waters of the lake. The nearby “Parco Baia delle Sirene” (= Sirens’ bay park) is the most famous beachside area close to Punta San Vigilio. There, (Open Jun-Aug; 9:30-19:00; tickets: 10-13€ Adults; 6-3€ kids 3-12 yo; Prices variable depending on the entrance time: <14:30, <16:30, >16:30) via a path under the shade of olive trees, visitors can reach a spotless beachside with two dining spots, a small ice cream parlour and wooden picnic tables available. Enjoy the magic of this place with respect for its history and make sure to preserve it for future generations.

We were at Lake Garda for 2 weeks, and tried out beaches in several cities. This is definitely the best place we were combined. We went there on a Tuesday, kids had free entrance on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It cost 12 euros per adult. Parking is free. Yes, the price were a little bit high, but if you compare it with the beaches in Sirminone and Lazise, we paied up to 17 euros in totalt for parking there. And the beach is not near as good. The water is very clean and clear. They have floters, that was very popular with my 2 year old and 4 year old. And for all the other kids there. Playgrounds for the kids, toilets, restaurants and sunbeds included in the price. It is also very nice with all the trees. Makes the heat not so intense as it gets the other places. Just remember, where ever you go on lake garda, invest in good bathing shoes, specially for the kids. It is not sandy beaches but rocky. Definitly worth your visit
