Coco Beach, Lonato del Garda

Brief premise: there are beach clubs that focus on the beach experience, daytime and the sea (in this case the lake); and others that focus on the dance floor, nightlife and socializing. Coco Beach belongs to the second category, with all the pros and cons (last season, identifiable in the control issues and prohibitions imposed by authorities). Those intending to spend the day here should know that from Wednesday to Sunday closing time is moved up to 6:00 PM, precisely because they prepare for the evening events. It’s therefore a nightlife kingdom, set in a very scenic and Instagram-worthy beach, featuring imported white sand, palm trees, white loungers and VIP areas branded by a well-known spirits company with complimentary sparkling wine bottle (at a cost of 200 euros for two people). Between day and night, they are two completely different experiences, and the staff is certainly trained more for the second than the first part. At the restaurant, the menu includes meat and fish dishes, pizza al taglio, focaccia and a special menu with vegan options. Don’t miss the dinner show starting from 9:00 PM with artist entertainment. In short: a beach club perfect for those seeking excitement, fun and glamorous beach vibes, less so for those expecting a beach to enjoy in total relaxation.
