Besides, pebbles give endless opportunities to perfect your stone-skimming technique.
Whichever, they have a world-within-a-world appeal that’s very satisfying when you gaze back to the shore.Īdmittedly, lakeside beaches tend to be the coarse sand or rocky variety – but all you need is the right footwear.
Lakes often have islands sometimes inhabited, such as Monte Isola on Lake Iseo, but more often a tree-covered target for a swim or boating expedition. At Greece’s Lake Kerkini, for example, you can watch the antics of flamingos and pelicans, or spot red squirrels around Derwentwater. Lakes often offer more variety than your standard seaside beach-and-water-sports package: lakeside strolls, high-level hikes, bird- and wildlife-watching, as well as swimming and boat-y activities. And, as water takes longer to heat up (and cool down) than land, lakes are often at their warmest by the end of the summer. Anywhere ringed with deciduous trees also offers the autumn treat of a blazing watery reflection. This can vary from the Alpine peaks above Annecy, and the dazzlingly chic towns around Como to the forested shores and lush pastures of Lake Lucerne. Rather than receding to a flat horizon, lakes offer all-round scenery. Lakes and enclosed expanses of water have an allure that seas and oceans don’t, and one that lasts beyond the high days of summer.
