The pebble and grass beach is a beach that offers many opportunities for recreation, as it is an equipped beach and, close to it, there are:

• basketball court
• Beach volley field
• skate park
• children playground

The Parco Giona beach in Maccagno is a beach suitable for families with children: you can spend the whole day here and have lunch (picnic), a few steps from the lake, under the shade guaranteed by the numerous plants present.

A few meters from the shore there is a platform from which it is possible to dive, appreciated by adults and children: it’s ideal for swimming!

The name derives from the Giona stream, which originates from Monte Tamaro in Switzerland and flows into the Verbano. A bridge was built over this river which houses the Parisi Valle Museum (bridge museum). The museum houses a permanent collection of contemporary art and organizes exhibitions of a good standard thanks to the careful care of local administrators.

The parking, both for cars and motorcycles, is large and close to the beach: this makes the Parco Giona beach in Maccagno hospitable even on the busiest days.

During the summer, on the beach there is a kiosk with bar, pizzeria and restaurant service.
