- Many beaches on Lake Garda are pebbly or gravelly: water shoes are almost always a good idea.
- Always bring water, a sun hat, sun cream and a snack: even a short outing can become a long one when children are having fun.
- It is best to avoid the hottest hours of the day, especially with small children. Early morning and late afternoon are often the most pleasant times.
- Do not plan too much on the same day: a beach, a walk and an ice cream are already a great plan.
