During our recent visit to Sirmione, Italy, we stumbled upon a true oasis of tranquility nestled along the shores of Lake Garda—Jamaica Beach. This hidden gem proved to be an absolute delight, offering a wonderful escape where we could unwind and immerse ourselves in the sweet waters of Lake Garda.
Jamaica Beach's natural beauty is unparalleled. The crystal-clear waters of Lake Garda, combined with the soft golden sand, create a picturesque and inviting setting. We were immediately captivated by the stunning panoramic views that stretched as far as the eye could see. The surrounding lush greenery added a touch of serenity, making it a paradise-like spot to relax and rejuvenate.
One of the highlights of our visit to Jamaica Beach was the refreshing and invigorating swim in the lake's sweet water. The water was incredibly clear and clean, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves and feel a sense of weightlessness as we floated on the surface. The absence of salt made the experience even more enjoyable, as we could swim without any discomfort or dryness. Whether we were taking a leisurely dip or engaging in water activities, the lake offered a soothing and rejuvenating escape from the heat of the day.
The beach itself was well-maintained and clean, with ample space for visitors to spread out and find their own little corner of paradise. We appreciated the availability of sun loungers and umbrellas, which provided shade and comfort during our stay. The calm and peaceful atmosphere of Jamaica Beach made it an ideal spot for unwinding, reading a book, or simply basking in the warmth of the sun.
The beach is also conveniently equipped with amenities such as restrooms and showers, ensuring that visitors can stay comfortable throughout their time there. Additionally, the presence of a beachside bar and café offered a welcome respite, allowing us to indulge in refreshing drinks and delicious snacks without having to venture far from the water's edge.
What truly sets Jamaica Beach apart is its proximity to the enchanting town of Sirmione. After a relaxing day on the beach, we took a leisurely walk through the charming streets of Sirmione, exploring its historical sites, boutique shops, and delightful cafés. The combination of a serene beach experience and the rich cultural heritage of Sirmione made for a truly memorable day.
In conclusion, Jamaica Beach in Sirmione is a true haven for those seeking a tranquil and rejuvenating escape. The sweet waters of Lake Garda, the stunning natural scenery, and the welcoming atmosphere create an idyllic setting for unwinding and connecting with nature. Whether you are looking to swim, sunbathe, or simply relax, Jamaica Beach offers a slice of paradise that will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
We highly recommend a visit to Jamaica Beach for anyone visiting Sirmione and seeking a blissful retreat along the shores...
Read moreAbsolutely awful experience.
We were at the beach in the evening, near the water. Around 8:00 PM, someone approached us and said the beach was closing. We packed up and headed toward the exit at 8:10 exactly. Then a man with his colleague suddenly began shouting that the gate was closed. The moment they realised we weren’t Italian, they started hurling racial insults in Italian, assuming we couldn’t understand him.
Even though one of them had the keys in his hand, he refused to open the gate. Instead, he told us to walk 20 minutes through the sea, over dangerous, slippery rocks, to reach another exit on the other side of the island. I was carrying a 50-liter backpack filled with camera gear and electronics and 2 other bags with my hands. With no alternative, we followed his instructions. A few minutes in, I slipped on a hard rock and smashed my knee, blood was pouring down my entire right leg and I couldn’t walk for 30 minutes.
We called an ambulance, but they told us they couldn’t reach us in the water and that we had to return to the beach. Even after seeing me injured and covered in blood, the man continued yelling insults in Italian. He only opened the gait in the lower part of the hill and refused to open the upper gate and told us to climb over it instead—despite holding the keys the entire time.
It was one of the worst and most humiliating experiences I’ve ever had. These two men acted with blatant racism and complete disregard for human decency. I hesitate to even call them human—their behavior was disgusting.
Avoid this place at all costs. People like this can seriously endanger your safety.
I’m writing this review while sitting in a hospital, waiting for treatment after this completely...

Warning: They close the main gate at exactly 8:00 PM. If you are still inside, you will be locked in.
We were a group of young people having a good time when, at 8:00 PM, the staff told us to leave. We hurried to the exit and reached the main door at about 8:10 PM.
When we were just 10 meters away, one staff member shouted, “Run, guys, run — you won’t make it to the exit!” Then, right in front of us, they locked the gate while looking at us.
We begged them to open it, but one of them laughed and said: “Oh no, the gate is closed! Swim to the next beach!” They knew that the Jamaican Beach path is very slippery and dangerous. He also cursed at us and said rude things while we kept apologizing and explaining we could not go through the water. But he still refused to help.
We had no choice but to walk on the dangerous, slippery rocks. My friend slipped, fell, and started bleeding. There was no ambulance access, so he had to walk all the way to Sirmione city while injured.
When we finally reached the other side, they opened only the first gate — the second gate was still locked.
I will never forget how it felt to be trapped, insulted, and forced to risk our lives just to get out. It was dangerous, humiliating, and...
