Guree beach in Monvalle is a predominantly sandy location, equipped with equipment and a large free car park. On the lake shore there is a bar/pizzeria with outdoor tables, shaded during the hottest hours, which offers the rental of sunbeds and umbrellas. The beach is particularly suitable for families with children, thanks to the shallow depth of the water for many metres.
