San Giovanni Beach is Bellagio's free public beach, in the San Giovanni district next to Villa Melzi, a walk south of the Bellagio ferry stop along the lakefront. It is a pebble beach with a small lawn, and in 2026 there was a kiosk on the beach and diving platforms in the lake.

It is the best free alternative to the paid Lido di Bellagio a few minutes away. Water shoes are worth bringing, and toilets may be for kiosk customers only.
