\"See?

See? It's a beach!<\/p><\/div>

A beach in Switzerland? Believe it. It’s no secret that the Swiss love their lakes<\/a> and who can blame them?  A lake is like the ocean, but pocket-size! (And other differences too numerous to mention, but hey, water!)<\/p>

The shores of Lake Morat near the towns of Avenches<\/a> and Murten (among others) offer camping with state-of-the-art amenities between April 1st and September 30th, and plenty of sandy beaches for all of your sun-bathing needs. Also, sand castles.<\/p>

The lake is host to a marina with dry and wet moorings available, which is nice.<\/p>

The relatively mild climate around Lake Morat and the perfect combination of sand and shade make it a perfect place to get your beach fix.<\/p>

The area is accessible by car and rail and hosts tons of events throughout the year including Surfclassics in June.  July offers the opportunity to combine the worlds of fashion, water and music with the Wake and Jam Festival<\/a>.  Also in July is the Lake Crossing  (for trained swimmers only).<\/p>

See? Beach activities!<\/p><\/div>

\"See?

See? Wait, I'm not sure you want to see this part.<\/p><\/div>

Added bonus! The town of Avenches is built upon the Roman town of Aventicum which has nothing to do with the beach, but is still pretty cool.  When in Avenches and all that…<\/p>
