Árpádpart Beach is the larger of the described beach areas and, with its length of one kilometre, provides a clearly recognisable focal point for a stay in Fonyódliget. On 10 August 2026, it had an excellent annual bathing-water quality rating. Guests also have access there to lockers, a rental service, a large slide, a badminton court and playgrounds.

Fürdő utcai szabadstrand is considerably shorter, at approximately 70 metres. For the 2024 season, it was listed as a free beach in the official list of bathing sites in Somogy; at the same time, a swimming season from 15 June to 31 August was stated there. If you use this information for planning your trip, you should take note of the year given and check current information separately.

For cycling travellers, the route of the Balatoni Bringakör through Árpádpart Beach is a specific point of reference. You can therefore regard Fonyódliget as a place where a beach stay and a stage on this named cycle path can be thematically combined. Fonyódliget railway station is 150 metres from the northeastern end of Árpádpart Beach. This distance is particularly relevant for planning your own journey, but says nothing about the location of individual hotels or holiday apartments.

The Berek Világa Visitor Centre opened in early June 2022 in Fonyódliget, in the immediate vicinity of the Ordacsehi Berek. Those who would like to plan a landscape-focused visit in addition to the beach can include this place in their personal selection. The chapel in Fonyódliget adds a cultural accent: its altar area was built in 1936 and consecrated on 4 July 1937 by Pastor Ify Lajos. The chapel was extended in 1993. Thus, in addition to its beach and cycling connections, Fonyódliget also offers a specific historical point of reference.

For a shorter beach stay, the smaller Fürdő utcai szabadstrand can also be a point of reference in its own right. Those who would like to add culture or nature should include the chapel and the Berek Világa Visitor Centre in their day planning. The right accommodation therefore does not result from a blanket recommendation, but from the location that suits your travel plans.
