For swimming enthusiasts, Alpago offers several alternatives. In this article we will cover the two main options:
- Swimming immersed in nature at Lake Santa Croce
- Swimming in regular swimming pools in Alpago
Swimming in lake Santa Croce
Practicing open water swimming in Alpago is a healthy, fun and relaxing activity. In addition to avoiding the crowds of the chaotic Venetian coast, Lake Santa Croce can offer an experience of total immersion in nature, in harmony with your body and the surrounding environment.
Generally speaking, swimming at Lake Santa Croce is safe. As in any water sport, it is highly advisable to pay attention to common sense (eg: use of a life jacket, stay close to the shore where possible, not diving from rocks into shallow water, etc.)

The shores and access points to the lake are abundant, but the most popular spots for relaxing and swimming in comfort and safety are the following:
- Farra d’Alpago beach: this beach is located a short distance from the center of Farra and can be reached on foot. In addition, the beach is equipped with parking lots, food and drink kiosks, and is manned by lifeguards during summer months.

- Sirens’ Bay (or Baia delle Sirene in Italian): this beach is located on the southern coast of the lake and is more secluded than the Farra beach. Sirens’ Bay is located a short distance from the village of Santa Croce, and has a small bar by the lake with a grand view of the wonderful Alpago mountains.
