Beaches around Bolsena Lake

San Lorenzo Nuovo beach is a middle size beach situated in the northern side of Bolsena lake. Here the lake has a grassy and tree-lined shore. The beach leads to the large river mouth which constitutes the boundary between San Lorenzo Nuovo beach and Grotte di Castro beach.

Grotte di Castro beach is larger and more spacious than San Lorenzo Nuovo beach due to the lack of trees. It is a beautiful and relaxing beach with bigger strand than San Lorenzo Nuovo.
