Almost seven kilometres of shoreline and four beaches give Balatonszepezd a clear focus on the water. When looking for accommodation, it helps to consider how the beach access points and facilities fit your plans for each day. The beaches differ in their described access and amenities; one specific point of reference is Központi Beach.

Compare beach access and facilities

Központi Beach is a two-minute walk from Balatonszepezd railway station and bus stop. The short walk makes it easy to combine a beach day with arrival via either of these transport points. The beach has water sports equipment and several ways to access the water, including a ramp for people with reduced mobility, a diving platform, and a bathing pier. Free parking is also available; the beach grounds also have two buffets and a restaurant at the entrance. As individual businesses may change, check what food and drink options are available on your visit date.

Szepezdfürdő Beach can be reached from Révfülöp via the first barrier-controlled railway crossing with traffic lights. Its facilities include a sand playground, a sports field, and a fitness park. These offer a different focus from the water sports equipment and piers at Központi Beach: when choosing a beach, you can consider which facilities best complement your plans for the day.

At Virius Beach, access is via the stairway opposite Üdülő Street. It also has a sand playground, a sports field, and a fitness park. Rákóczi Bath Association Free Beach is on the west side of Balatonszepezd. Together, these details provide different points of reference for choosing a beach: a short walk from the railway station and bus stop, a named access route from Révfülöp, a stairway by Üdülő Street, and the location of Rákóczi Beach in the western part of the village.

Church and local history

There is local history to discover away from the beaches, too. St Andrew’s Church in Balatonszepezd was already standing in 1288. Its white tower once served as a landmark for fishermen and still guides sailors home today. The building thus combines a long history with a significance that remains visible in its relationship with the lake.

The Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény (Local History Collection) is in the centre of Balatonszepezd. The church and local history collection offer different ways to explore the village’s past: a historic building with its role for fishermen and sailors stands alongside a collection in the village centre. If you would like to include local heritage in your trip as well as beach days, these two names can help guide your plans.

Plan around local events

Local events include the Halászlé-Főzőverseny, a long-running traditional competition that has been held for many years. It was organised by the municipality and the Balatonszepezdi Arany Horog Horgász Egyesület. The Zsíroskenyér Party is also a long-running local event. It takes place at the Csónakház és Szabadtéri Színpad grounds; the 32nd edition was held there in 2025.

If an event is important to your trip, check the announced dates for your preferred travel period. The beaches, local history, and events offer different ways to shape a stay in Balatonszepezd. You can decide which to combine based on the time available and your interests.
