Discover Agárd: Beach, Thermal Baths and Nature
Accommodation in Agárd
Agárd offers a variety of reasons for a varied stay: at Napsugár Beach, sandy stretches of shore meet a shallow children’s paddling pool, alongside opportunities for culture, relaxation and active leisure. This gives you the option to choose a focus for your holiday planning: more time by the water, insights into a writer’s life or nature experiences.

Beach Time and Water Activities
Napsugár Beach combines sandy stretches of shore with a shallow children’s paddling pool. If you are travelling with children, you can take this specific beach amenity into account when planning your day. It adds a dedicated paddling area to your time by the shore. Pedal boats and kayaks are also available at the beach. So, in addition to spending time by the shore, there are activities on the water; which ones suit your holiday depends on your personal interests.
The location of the main entrance is also a useful point of reference: it is 50 metres from the railway station and 200 metres from a bus stop. These distances refer to the entrance to Napsugár Beach. If the beach is one of your set plans, you can take the distances into account when planning your journey.
Literature and Thermal Waters
The Gárdonyi Géza Memorial House is dedicated to the writer and his work. It presents the key stages of his life, his literary work and some original personal belongings. The focus is therefore not only on biographical information, but also on insights into literature and personal objects. The memorial house offers a cultural highlight that is clearly distinct from a day at the beach.
Another special feature is the Agárdi Medicinal and Thermal Spa. It uses medicinal water that rises from a depth of 1,000 metres and is 58°C warm. The depth and temperature describe the water used at the spa and give this excursion destination a distinctive profile. If you do not want to focus your trip solely on beach activities, the thermal spa offers a different theme for your stay.
Nature and Active Recreation
The Chernel István Birdwatching Station offers themed programmes as well as guided tours of the exhibition and the observation tower. It welcomes visitors from April to November. This period is useful to know if you would like to include a visit to the birdwatching station in your travel plans. The exhibition, programmes and guided tour to the observation tower offer different points of interest for visitors interested in nature.
Agárd Forest Park offers numerous opportunities for relaxation and active leisure. Together with the birdwatching station, it broadens the range of options with nature and leisure activities that differ from the beach and memorial house. This lets you weigh up different interests during your stay without spending every holiday day in the same way.
