Here are some activities we think could make your stay more interesting and exciting.
THE BEACHES
This side is well-known for its many beaches and lake access, especially compared to the Brescia lake side.
We've selected 3 beaches for you and we've specifically chosen these due to the unique experience they offer!
1) Baia delle Sirene Beach (Mermaid Bay beach)
You'll find this corner of paradise located near San Vigilio.
It's a park with a spectacular beach (charges apply) on the lake; there, you can purchase refreshments such as coffee, aperitifs, and fast food and enjoy evening DJ sets.
The entry tickets include a series of amenities such as: cabins, showers, kids' club, play area for kids, a bar, restaurant, car park, sunbed, deckchair and parasol rental.
P.S.: there are also areas where you can have picnics. We recommend watching the sunset from there - it's postcard worthy!

2) Spiaggia La Cavalla (Mare beach)
Here is a beach located in Garda at the entrance to the village; it is truly perfect for families and children.It has an incredible landscape with mulberry hills.
TOP TIP: As it's quite small, it's often crowded in summer, so head down there as early as possible!

3) Nudist beach near Punta San Vigilio
Are you looking for something a bit more peculiar?
There's a nudist beach near Punta San Vigilio!
It was voted the most beautiful bay of Lake Garda; this is why it is often very crowded (get there early in the morning!)
It is only 500 metres away from Baia delle Sirene.

LA CANTINA DEL BUON VINO (THE GOOD WINE WINERY)
This lake shore features many famous wineries.
It is here that high-quality wines such as the Bardolino, Lugana and Chiaretto are produced.
We recommend visiting one of the most famous wineries: the Zen brother's winery!

Scaligero Castle in Malcesine, in addition to being a highly cultural visit, will also gift you with the most extraordinary panoramic spots in Malcesine!
A TINY SUGGESTION
We recommend the "Rivellino" platform - a fantastic panoramic experience awaits you! Remember to take your camera with you!

2) The cablecar
This is the cablecar that takes you from Malcesine to the top of Mount Baldo!
The picture speaks for itself. It's a unique opportunity to "expand your horizons" and enjoy an out-of-this-world view.
However, Mount Baldo is not only famous for its landscape and splendid, uncontaminated nature. It is also famous because it is considered the number one spot for open air sports and activities.
The cable car "flies up" to 1,800 metres above lake level in few minutes.
WHAT ACTIVITIES CAN YOU DO ON THE MOUNTAIN?
You can ski and snowboard in winter, ride on your mountain bike, go hiking, do Nordic Walking and paragliding!

Excursions to the Turri olive oil mill
The vegetation in this area is rich in olive trees, which is odd given the location.
The altitude, however, gives life to the refined Garda oil which is produced at the highest latitudes in the world.
It is the micro-climate that is created in these conditions that makes it possible to produce olives that stand out for their incredible fragrance.
Of all the olive oil mills you could visit, we recommend one in particular: the Turri olive oil mill.
