Excenevex's natural beach

Welcome to Excenevex, a charming village in the region situated in Coudrée Bay. As well as offering stunning views of the Chablaisian Pre-Alps, it boasts a unique feature on the French shores of Lake Geneva: a natural beach! Yes, really – the fine sand comes 100% from the lake! Incredible, isn’t it!

 

 

But why sand in Excenevex?

But how is this possible? To put it simply: long, hollow waves stir up the fine sediment at the bottom of the lake; when this sediment rises to the surface, it is swept inland by the wind to form these lake dunes, which are exceptional in Europe.

The beach is now a very popular spot for families. In fact, the water is only up to your waist for about a hundred metres! An ideal depth for playing ball, paddleboarding or going on a pedal boat!
