Plage des Eaux-Vives

Where

Eaux-Vives, Geneva

A free public lake beach on the Quai Gustave-Ador with 400 metres of sand and pebble, looking across to the Jet d'Eau. It sits in the Eaux-Vives quarter, which gay city guides commonly describe as Geneva's main LGBTIQ+ district, so locals and queer guides often report its lakefront as a relaxed, queer-friendly place to swim.
