Spiaggia di Cannero, Public beach on Lake Maggiore in Cannero Riviera, Italy.
Spiaggia di Cannero is a public beach along the waterfront of Cannero Riviera with a shoreline of pebbles and stones that slope gently into clear lake water. Mountains rise directly behind the beach, creating a scenic backdrop.
The beach developed as part of Cannero's history as a fishing community that sustained the area since ancient times. The lake provided the main source of livelihood for residents throughout the medieval period and beyond.
The area preserves the character of a fishing village, with restaurants still serving fresh-caught lake fish prepared according to recipes passed down through generations.
The beach has lifeguard services during summer months and offers pedal boat rentals along with nearby cafes and restroom facilities. Wearing proper water shoes is helpful since the pebble and stone surface can be uneven underfoot.
The lake water deepens gradually in different zones that are marked by distinct colored pebbles visible beneath the surface. This natural segmentation allows swimmers to easily identify shallow and deeper swimming areas.
