Spiaggia Acquaforte is located on Via Acquaforte, in Gera Lario, the municipality that sits at the mouth of the Mera torrent, at the northern tip of Lake Como. Shaped by the steady winds of the Alto Lario, it is one of the two monitored bathing spots in the municipality, together with the nearby Spiaggia del Pontile.
Sailing and windsurfing
The winds that blow regularly along this stretch of the Alto Lario make it an ideal spot for sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing, popular with enthusiasts who take advantage of the steady conditions to train or simply enjoy time on the water.
Nearby
Nearby you’ll find accommodation and traditional restaurants, as well as cycle paths connecting Gera Lario to the neighbouring municipalities, ideal for exploring the area beyond the water. The beach is also close to the Pian di Spagna Nature Reserve, a protected area where the waters of Lake Como, Lake Mezzola and the Adda and Mera rivers meet.
