riviera beach

The beach is in a key location of Lake Geneva. We like to hang at this beach/park area. walking distance for food, coffees, summer goodies. Great location just to watch the boaters. Fall time is wonderful too. There were swimmers up until the first week of October. Its hard to say good bye to summer when your up at this location...

Now in it's Autumn phase, the colors around Lake Geneva are showing themselves. Still plenty of tourists taking advantage of the boat tours around the Lake. Oktoberfest has produced some of these tourists. A beautiful Beach, Riviera, more welcoming, to be sure, when the Summer Sun and much warmer temps are being enjoyed, but still, a lovely Beach.

What a Great facility! We had about 170 people in this historical 1902 ballroom.... plenty of room. Beautiful location on the lake...has been updated and everyone raved about the facility. Catering was top notch. Band and acoustics were good. It was walking distance to several hotels and near nite life after reception was over at midnight.

I love beaches and have been on quite a few in my long life. We live about two blocks from the Lake Geneva beach, so probably we aren't the best critics. It is crowded on the weekends (they say the city's population goes from 7500 to about 15000), but we usually go during the week and often late in the afternoon. It is a small beach -- about 50 feet deep and maybe 500 feet long -- but very pleasant and across the street from restaurants, a block from Main Street and local shops.

I am a long time fan as I grew up on/in this lake. It;s now time in my life to bring the grand-kids here to enjoy what I took for granted for so many years as a kid. Yes times have changed and municipalities need to find sources of income so I was surprised when we had to pay to use the beach. Wasn't like that when i was a kid! Guess I'm getting old. The water is still clear and you can still see the bottom in many places. The sun was good, the sand was clean, not to overly crowded. First time users of the automatic dispensing system is a little intimidating at 1st but we made it through the process. Just a loss of more jobs in my opinion. But enough on that subject. We had a great time that day and need to thank the staff that works so hard to make the beach the way it is. THANK YOU!

I went with my husband and had a good time. The water is very clean and they have a shower outside to clean off the sand which is a plus. Downside is that you have to pay. Overall it was a good experience, better than Lake Michigan.

No parking, then paid $7.00 when we found a spot 4 blocks away. $21.00 to get in. You can't escape the lifeguard and mega phone..."no flotation devices past the orange buoys" "no diving off the pier" " no swimming under the pier" " no carrying anyone in the water past the orange buoys" "no balls pays the orange buoys" "no frisbees past the orange buoys" HOW ABOUT NO TOYS PERIOD! Hard to relax here for the day.

We had a great time at this clean, fun, and, safe beach on the pristine shore of Lake Geneva. Close to sandwich shops, ice cream, and bathrooms the beach and it's surroundings reminded me of upscale east coast outings. Parking was easy during the week at the many 5 hour meters. I bet the August weekends are crowded as I noticed some signs for weekend shuttle buses. Daily beach passes were $7 for adults $3 for kids 6-12Please take advantage of the nearby path around the lake where you can see up close some gorgeous landscapes and mansion estates.

Very nice with lifeguards and I think you need to buy a pass to enter.$6?Adjacent to pier and shopping.

Attended our friends wedding at the Riviera Beach Club. It was amazing. What a setting. I don't think I have ever been to a more beautiful location for a wedding. Even had fireworks over the Lake.

I think for an attraction like Lake Geneva they need to do a better job in making a better swimming area for families to bring the kids. The sand is dirty and littered with debris, they charge to get in for beach where you can only go abouyt 5-10 yards out. Not worth the money at all. Fontana beach on the other side of the lake is better but they also charge a high amount per person and you have to walk on A LOT of rocks very painful for about the first 10 feet just to make it to the sand. Lake Geneva needs to a better job overall in improving their swimming areas it is a serious after though and charging a ridiculous amount to use the poor beaches is an insult.

We spent $24 to get in, I think it was reasonable for 5 ppl. Grandkids had fun and adults had a great view of natures finest. Another week or two and I'm sure it will be packed!! :)

Nice clean beach area with a wonderful location but very crowded. Get there very early to get a good spot or otherwise you may not get a spot.

Geneva Lake is beautiful, no doubt. But the beach here is small, crowded, and totally not worth paying $7.00 per adult! There was a lifeguard, and it appeared well kept, but all my husband and I wanted to do was take some pictures, put our feet in the water, and walk on the shoreline. Not worth $14 plus the price to park! The city of Lake Geneva rakes in the cash with all the tourists, why charge for this little beach? Accessing natural resources should not be an exclusive opportunity- which Lake Geneva really wants it to be. Much better free or super cheap beach options at nearby lakes with far less crowding!
