Saint-Jorioz · Blue Flag beach
The snack sits right at the edge of Saint-Jorioz beach, on the western shore of Lake Annecy. Sand, grass shaded by tall trees, diving board, pontoons and a fenced playground. This is a beach made for spending the whole day on a towel.
One of the largest beaches on Lake Annecy, and one of the busiest in peak summer. The snack runs at full speed — coming early or slightly off-peak skips the queue. The vibe is lively, simple, no fuss. Order at the counter, sit on the terrace or on your towel, enjoy.
The menu is simple and good. Burgers, hot dogs, fries, nuggets, La Laitière artisanal ice cream, cold drinks, draft beer, spritz. No reservations. Take-away or eat-in.
