For local habitants in Prangins you can get a card at the Prangins communal that gives you proof of residency and free access to the Prangins beach. Otherwise there is a small fee to enter and use the beach facilities. This beach offers a small strip of sand and grass to enjoy during the summer months. Their is also a shower and bathroom facilities. Another bonus is the self service restaurant on site. You walk up to the window to view the menu - everything from Cheval (horse), salads, tartars, fish, etc you have it all to have a nice dinner. I especially like the Friday night fillet de perche special or the tuna + salmon tartar combination. First come first serve to the seating, come early as it gets busy quickly. It is a beautiful setting for a nice dinner on a hot night over looking the beach and lake. The food is also good at Swiss standard prices (don't expect it to be cheaper because it is self service). After you order at the window you go back to your table pick up your cutlery and condiments and wait for the food to be brought to your table. They also offer special themed Saturday nights throughout the summer - grill night, Thai food night, etc. You just need to reserve in advance. As this is near the water sometimes when the sun starts to set the bugs can come out. One of my favorite summer evening spots to hang out with friends. read more
