• Paid car park beside the beach; Balžio II, the second beach on the same lake, has a free one
• Step-free water entry from an adapted pier and ramp, plus a changing cabin for people with disabilities
• Quieter beach next door: Balžio II is smaller and wrapped in forest, with outdoor pull-up and parallel bars

This is the first of two city-run beaches on Balžis, a small glacial lake ringed by pine forest. Wooden piers reach out over the water for swimming and sunbathing, and an adapted pier and ramp give step-free entry into the lake.

Behind the shore sit a grill area with tables and benches, changing cabins, public toilets and bike racks. The lake reaches 27 m at its deepest point.
