Great beach on the lake, not too busy compared to other places. Great for a picnic on the grass. There is a small pool/paddling pool for kids, white swans and plump ducks.

A cute little port in the town. The Corsier-Port Shipyard is the oldest boatyard in French-speaking Switzerland. Here you can find services for your boat, buy a boat or simply learn a little more about the history of this place. Find out more here: https://www.corsier-port.com
