PODObeach in Podersdorf am See is the largest and most extensive lido on Lake Neusiedl and offers a diverse range of leisure activities with its sections for water sports enthusiasts, families, and those seeking relaxation. The facility's defining landmark is the approximately twelve-meter-high, red-and-white striped lighthouse on the main jetty, which serves as a signal and storm warning system and is one of the region's most famous photographic motifs. As the only place on the lake with barrier-free, reed-free access to the water, the area attracts both active sports enthusiasts like kitesurfers and day-trippers for picturesque sunsets.

The Podersdorf beach campsite is located directly on the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl and borders the Neusiedler See – Seewinkel National Park. It is the largest campsite in the region and offers pitches for motorhomes and tents as well as modern mobile homes. Due to the shallow water and the direct connection to the beach (PODOBEACH), cycle paths and water sports facilities such as kitesurfing, it is a popular hotspot for families and sports enthusiasts.

The campsite in St. Andrä am Zicksee is located close to nature in the Burgenland's Seewinkel region and forms an ideal starting point for flat bike tours as well as birdwatching. A special animal feature of the flat meadow terrain is the locally native, tame ground squirrel (Ziesel) population; for their protection, a strict dog ban applies on the site. As the Zicksee is currently heavily dried out, the campsite is currently primarily for quiet nature camping rather than classic bathing fun.

The Zicksee near St. Andrä am Zicksee is a typical, extremely shallow salt lake in the Seewinkel region, which depends significantly on precipitation and groundwater levels. Due to persistent droughts, the lake almost completely dried up in the summer of 2022, after which the fish population had to be caught. In the meantime, the water level has recovered due to abundant rainfall, which means the Zicksee continues to be an important biotope for rare steppe birds and a popular excursion destination in the region.
