Revfülöp: Beach, Views and Local History
Accommodation in Revfülöp
Revfülöp brings together beaches, views and local history, offering a range of holiday themes. At the Fülöp-hegyi Kilátó, panoramic views and a specific commemorative occasion take centre stage; at Szigeti and Császtai beaches, you can compare different beach features. A collection of historical, ethnographic and geological materials adds to these perspectives. This makes it easy to explore the town through the themes you want to shape your stay.
Viewpoint and Local History
The Fülöp-hegyi Kilátó was built in 2001 to designs by Gyula Pelényi, commemorating the thousandth anniversary of the founding of the Hungarian state. Visitors can enjoy an impressive panorama from the lookout tower.
The Benke László Local History Collection includes historical, ethnographic and geological materials. Local schoolchildren collected them under the guidance of László Benke, who was the local school principal. The three subject areas connect local history, ways of life and geology, complementing the panoramic views with cultural and natural history perspectives.
Two Beach Profiles in Revfülöp
At Szigeti Beach, the natural bathing water gradually deepens over a sandy bottom; there is also a playground. Császtai Beach is in the western part of Revfülöp. It has a water slide and a water sports equipment rental service.

If you are planning to use one of these facilities, check its current status before your visit.
