Riva Bianca is a free public beach in Lierna, on the eastern shore of the Lecco branch of Lake Como, in the Castello hamlet. It is a beach of smooth white pebbles with clear water and lawns behind it, and it is often named as the most photogenic free beach on the eastern shore.

There is a kiosk nearby, and some reviewers mention sunbeds for hire, but don't count on one. Parking on Via Roma and Via Castello is paid and fills early on summer weekends, so the train is the better option: Lierna station, on the Lecco to Sondrio line, is about a 10-minute walk away.

The water at Riva Bianca was approved for bathing by the regional health authority in 2026. Bring water shoes and your own shade.
