Budapest’s only Danube beach opens! – PHOTOS
Change language:
The sandy beach at Kopaszi Dam, which first opened last year, has already become a favourite among many.
The birth of the SHO Beach
SHO Beach, the Danube beach on the Kopaszi Dam, will open again this year, Property Market Kft., the owner of the beach area, told MTI. The beach, built with an investment of around HUF 300 million (EUR 756,600), welcomed 3,000 visitors last year, with ticket revenues of HUF 6 million (EUR 15,100), and expects more guests and revenues this year, as portfolio.hu reports.
The running costs are financed from entrance fees and gastronomy revenues. The managing director of Property Market Kft., Mihály Schrancz, said that
SHO Beach is the only sandy beach in Budapest where bathing is possible in the Danube, where the water quality is regularly monitored, and where lifeguards ensure the safety of bathers.

Tickets and discounts
As borsonline reports, the good news for bathers is that ticket prices have risen only marginally this year. Depending on the time of day and time of year, the operator offers a discount of between 50 and 70% on admission fees for BudaPart residents and employees, and between 25 and 30% for residents of District XI.
Why does the beach have sort of an English name? Can someone clarify? I mean, there is no such word as SHO in the big huge Webster’s dictionary tht I have on my desk.
