Atlantic Beach Ohrid

Atlantic Beach is a sandy beach on Lake Ohrid with golden sand meeting transparent water against mountain backdrops. The shoreline offers ample space for swimming and relaxation along the water's edge.

The beach sits on Lake Ohrid's shore, which formed over three million years ago and ranks among Europe's oldest lakes. The lake harbors numerous species found nowhere else, having lived in its waters for millions of years.

Nearby restaurants serve traditional Macedonian dishes and fresh lake fish prepared using methods passed down through generations of local fishermen. The food offerings reflect the community's long connection to the water.

The beach has lifeguards during summer months, restroom facilities, and equipment rentals for activities like kayaking and paddleboarding. Visitors should arrive in the morning to secure good spots and avoid the afternoon heat.

Visitors can observe natural springs flowing into the lake that help maintain the water's clarity. These underground sources are a key reason why the water stays so clear here.
