Szepezdfürdői strand and Viriusi strand each have a sand playground, a sports field and a fitness park. The listed facilities are the same at both beaches, but access differs. Viriusi strand can be reached via a flight of steps opposite Üdülő utca.

Rákóczi Fürdőegyesületi szabad strand is in the western part of Balatonszepezd. Its location within the town is therefore a different point of reference from the information about the play and sports facilities or access to the other two beaches.

For visitors using the train station or bus stop as a reference point for their journey, Központi strand is particularly easy to locate: both stops in Balatonszepezd are a two-minute walk away.

For Szepezdfürdői strand, the described route from Révfülöp is via the first railway crossing with barriers and traffic lights. For Viriusi strand, the flight of steps opposite Üdülő utca is the reference point. These different directions help you take each beach’s access into account when planning your visit.

In addition to its beaches, the town’s history and distinctive buildings are also worth exploring. The Church of St. Andrew in Balatonszepezd was already standing in 1288. Another role is associated with the white tower of the Roman Catholic church: it once served as a landmark for fishermen and still guides sailors home today.

The Helytörténeti Gyűjtemény is located in the centre of Balatonszepezd. The Panoráma sétány was also completed recently. Along with the beach facilities, you can explore local history and church architecture, as well as a newly completed attraction, according to your interests during your stay.

The Halászlé-Főzőverseny is a long-standing event that has been held for many years. It was organised by the municipality and the Balatonszepezdi Arany Horog Horgász Egyesület. Another long-running local event is the Zsíroskenyér Party, held at the Csónakház és Szabadtéri Színpad grounds. Its 32nd edition took place there in 2025.
