La Gravara, Lake beach in Barrea, Italy
La Gravara stretches along the shores of Lake Barrea, surrounded by mountains that reflect in the clear waters of the artificial reservoir.
The beach emerged in 1952 when the Sangro River was dammed to construct a hydroelectric power station, creating Lake Barrea in the process.
The beach forms part of Abruzzo National Park, where visitors participate in traditional mountain activities while observing local wildlife in their habitat.
Open from Friday to Sunday between 9:00 and 20:00, La Gravara provides amenities including a restaurant, snack bar, and designated swimming areas.
Dogs of any size can access the water and beach areas, making it one of the few completely pet-friendly beaches in the Abruzzo region.
