The place is interesting. The water is clean and was warm at the time of arrival. Sand dunes attract not only children, but also adults. There is a swimming area for children on the beach and a lifeboat station with a board project. You can grab something to eat at the nearby food truck.
But there must be a fly in the ointment in every interesting place. It killed people's attitude to the environment. Garbage and toilets in the bushes, where there are dumpsters on all sides and even a toilet. From the side of the pine forest there are remnants of camps and for some reason no one stands in their place. They make new ones from the same sticks and stretch films. Is it really that hard to clean up after yourself?
And I'll make a reservation right away for those who are picky about smells. From the neighboring cowshed, the smell of the guests' vital activity is periodically heard. Although these are small things compared to all of the above.
People! Take care of nature! You and I need to save it for our children! Clean up after yourself and those who have fallen behind with their heads.
Believe me, there are few such especially beautiful places in Belarus, I have been traveling to such places for more than one year and know a lot about it; clean water, amazing white sand like in famous resorts of the planet and all this is surrounded by a pine forest with clean air far from large cities and enterprises.To spend a week of vacation here only for the joy and benefit of health, To get to the lake.Katashi is best done by private transport or taxi.Take food, meat, coals with you, if there is an auto-refrigerator in the car or at least a thermo container with coolers, then you can stay for a long time.Also, drinking water can be collected in the village to its about 2 km.There is also a small shop there, but you don't really count on it, it happens that there is not even bread.Have a great holiday, everyone.
A great place to relax on the opposite shore for a long stay. This is the third year my family and I have been coming here. But there is one drawback. Exhibits with large speakers arrive. And a couple of them have to explain that in such places the music is until 23.00. There are a lot of children in this area. We plan to park in this city for 2 weeks👍👍👍
Great as always! We have been vacationing here for the second year! If you want a quieter corner, the area on the left. If you want noise and movement, you go to the right! It's better to come on weekdays! The water is clean and quiet, warm and the bottom is sandy! We put the car next to it on the road. A clean place. Your own toilet)) 01.08.2024
The fire, the sand is gentle, the water is cool. It was incredibly beautiful, we had a great rest with tents and children. Entrance from all sides . There were a lot of people , but everything was civil. There are toilets , so - so , but there are
Super, the sand is just gorgeous, fine-grained, as in some seas, you can take a place from absolutely any side of the reservoir, thanks to this there is a lot of space, and there is always a place to sit even with a noisy company
Be careful with the children, where we were, the depth began very abruptly
A nice beach and azure water, not 100% crystal clear, but quite transparent. The depth starts quickly. There is a changing booth. There are not many people on weekdays, although it was a bit hot in July. There are tourists with tents in the forest around.
A great place to relax: a gorgeous sandy beach, straight burkhans, the water is clean, we swam at the end of August, the water is a little cool, of course, especially at the beginning, but I still really liked it!
A great place to relax, white sand, clear clear water. There are a lot of people, but there is enough space for everyone. 3 days of non-stop swimming and sunbathing. The entrance to the water is shallow, it is possible with children.
The beach is good, there are a lot of places to stay, but not equipped. There are no changing rooms, only two umbrellas, one wooden toilet.
There are a lot of people on weekends in good weather.
Usually, places closer to the road, good access to the water and the opportunity to hide in the shade are dealt with first. Plus, there are huge expanses of sand hills where you can settle down, but it will be away from the car, you need to carry things.
The lake is like a lake, there is nothing more than natural, plus good sand...but there is not a single flat area where you can sunbathe normally, parking for cars is not organized, there is nowhere to change clothes, there are no toilets nearby, There is nowhere to buy drinking water.The dumpsters are far away.Just a wild beach with a lifeguard station.The second half of the beach, where you can stay overnight in an organized manner, a couple of dumpsters and a couple of toilets....there is no road with a low suspension, there is nothing to do there.It is not possible to safely approach the water everywhere.
The shop in the village is not working, we have to go to the neighboring village.
Conclusion-rest is possible if you organize well and take everything you need with you.
This is our best beach in 2024!
If you are traveling to or from Brest and do not come here, it is a sin. After 10 minutes, the children all said - what do we care about these locks - we stay here!) The lake is on the site of a quarry, formed in 1979, the depth is up to 20 meters, the slope of the shore is strong. You can barely reach the bottom 5 meters from the shore. The water is the purest. The sand is clean, snow-white and warm. There is a cubicle, a toilet and a toilet.
Stop by and you won't regret it!
A very beautiful lake Katashi is surrounded by a pine forest, it is a former baked quarry.
White sand like the sea, clear clear water, but slightly cool. We are on the lake at an air temperature of 25. Maybe it warms up better in hotter weather.
The depth comes abruptly, three meters from the shore, you can't really swim in this for kids, and I was afraid🤣
There are garbage containers, toilets. To my great surprise, an employee went and collected the garbage himself near the tents (I have not seen this on any lake), we kindly said that we always clean up after ourselves, so as not to bother a person once again, and it is our duty to keep the place of rest clean.
It's a cool beach, and it doesn't matter that it's so far from Minsk. The sand is like in European resorts. Nature is great, there are no mosquitoes, a few ants, but they don't bother much. I advise everyone who is no stranger to real beauty! Oh, yes, We didn't take fishing rods, thinking that there would be no fish, but she really swims with you and is not afraid of a person.
We learned about the place from the Internet. They are from the Kaluga region.
The sand is simply excellent!!!
An interesting place. A quarry with views like the sea.
Clear. There are toilets, you can put up tents and relax with the whole family.
I recommend.
The beach is very nice. The sand is soft and white. The water is clean. The bathing area is fenced with buoys. The drainage works well. The beach is clean, garbage cans are located at the exit from the beach. The view is very beautiful, surrounded by a field and a pine forest. There is one catering point with water and homemade cakes. There is a RAIPO shop not far from the village. But with toilets, it's generally a complete jamb, we found only one, a rustic one, and to go into it is already a whole feat. So, as you know, the whole pine forest is mined. And there is nowhere to hide from the sun on the beach, from the word, in general!!!
A good beach, convenient access, it is convenient even with tents to hang out and relax with families, a clean beach and fine pleasant sand) the place is gorgeous!
The best place for a beach holiday in Belarus. I have never seen such fine, clean, white sand anywhere, neither in Egypt nor in Turkey. The forest is beautiful, there are fewer midges and mosquitoes than in the city!!!
A gorgeous beach. There is a place to eat . Clean water. A great place to relax with your family. changing rooms are on site, there are a lot of people on weekends.
A fantastic place! Gorgeous clean sand, clear water. There is a place to stand with a tent.
There is no infrastructure, but for unity with nature it is the most important thing.
The sand is like in paradise.
The water is good, although there are almost always a lot of people, but there are also a lot of places. The entrance to the water is inclined, so 2.5-3 meters away - it will be already with your head, you need to keep an eye on the kids
The beach is super. The children are delighted. Wonderful view and nature. There are many campers with tents. On weekends, there are a lot of people. There are a lot of parking spaces.
Lake Katashi is a fine sand of almost white color, filled on both sides. My daughter liked it very much. The water is ordinary as everywhere in the Republic of Belarus, there are places to stop with tents, there are garbage cans, there is enough space to park the car. There are umbrellas, no sun beds.
An overly publicized Instagram location. Yes, white sand, clear water, but there is a large depth quite sharply, which is not great for small children, a small lake in itself. We were lucky to be there when there were few people, and it was not comfortable, it's hard to imagine what was going on there during a large influx of people. There's a lot of paper, shit and garbage in the woods near the beach, sorry for the details. And the women's pads in the changing room were just killed.... How women can be such pigs is very difficult for me to understand, they probably also stuff used pads in their apartment, I can't find any other explanation for this... If you are traveling through, it's worth stopping by, but there is no point in dragging yourself 200-300 km on purpose.
The water is clean, the sand is stupid, and I want to put it in my pocket with me. The beach is clean. The children were delighted))) A lot of people come here for camping, but they are away from the beach, including do not interfere)))
Of the advantages, only beautiful sand, which is especially interesting for children and girls. Otherwise, an ordinary lake, only crowded with people, complete lack of infrastructure, the entire nearby forest is covered in toilet paper.
A place from the category of mandatory visits. The purest water (quite unlike lake water, closer to sea water in transparency), very pleasant sand on the beach, the place is beautiful, the air is excellent (pine forest interspersed with birch). From the available service: a lone seller of cold ice cream and drinks, toilets like M and W, garbage cans (small trash cans on the beach for small ones) and.... everything. The rest is mainly designed to either come- relax-leave, or come and stay with tents (there is enough space- the forest is large, but all are placed in a heap closer to the beaches), the nearest store in the village of Katashi (so you will not stay without a minimum grocery set); you can also take a car to Kobrin, there is already enough stores of large Belarusian chains. What are the DISADVANTAGES: 1)some vacationers (most are still normal) do not clean up their resting places / campfires; 2) people who come with huge columns to nature, the main question is WHY? There is noise and music in the city/at home/at work/in the car. The thrill of nature is in the sounds of nature. Think about it guys.
The place is gorgeous. But there are a lot of vacationers on weekends. Each of them strives to turn on their music at full volume day and night.I want privacy with nature, but I have to try to sleep in a musical cacophony.
Katashi Lakes! A very good place to relax with your family. There is a small shop where you can buy a drink and a minimal snack. The driveway is gravel, but you can get there by any car. Of the cons, there are full trash cans and music screaming at night.
We stopped by with my family after an excursion from Brest. The beach is super and the water is clean! We felt like we were at sea)). Fortunately, the weather was a success. I recommend you to visit!!
Beautiful beach, clear water, lots of people. Many people stand in tents, there are garbage containers on the lake, the shop in the village of Katashi works quite inconveniently, which must be taken into account.
There are 2 very steep beaches with the purest sand. And very large ones, especially the second one, where you can coolly enroll with a tent) well, the water is not bad
Katashi fell in love with Lake at first sight. White sand, clean water, coniferous forest, as well as toilets and garbage cans have been built for vacationers. We spent 1.5 days. Impressions for a lifetime. I advise you to visit this place.

Summer, vacation, weekend,
We are in a hurry from the heat to the water,
To the Canary Islands dear
No need, we won't fly.
We have places just as good,
Air, pine trees, beauty
Though not the sea, but not in a puddle
Frankly, Babble!
Rest is very important!
For health and soul
To make it cool, beachy
I'm riding a Katasha!
A great place to relax. The sand is a sight. Beach, water, forest. Fishermen will also be satisfied with the catch. However, it was possible to take a boat only near the shore, the convoy turned us around. Catch from the shore, lots of reeds and catfish! We rested in the tent for 4 days. There is 1 toilet, and several places with garbage containers. There is no outbound trade, we went to the store 1.5 km away. In general, it's great!
Of the cons: the forest is in toilet paper: (
And most importantly: there are a lot of people on weekends. Each company organizes a disco. Loud, unbearable!!! , at night for up to 3-4 hours. I couldn't get enough sleep...
The sand and the beach are clean, there are beach changing rooms, the entrance to the water is comfortable for both adults and children. I really liked it
An interesting lake with a beautiful beach. The water is clean, visibility in the water is about 7 meters, which is simply amazing for our country. But swimming is dangerous. Since the quarry depth starts immediately. 2 meters from the shore and you're up to your neck, one more step and you'll leave with your head. Children need to be monitored. The water is always cold.
The beach itself is sandy, large and spacious. The sand is clean and there is so much of it that it seems like a lake in the desert.
Of the cons: due to the number of vacationers in the sand, garbage, no one will clean it up.
The place has turned into a drunken place. Everyone is coming here. You can put up a tent, but there is little space and most likely you will be very close to others or 300 meters from the beach in the forest.
They're coming here to get drunk. Loud music is heard from all sides until 4 a.m., until the owners of the speakers pass out in a drunken stupor.
Result. A great place to come for 1 day, go for a swim, leave. Going overnight, especially if you are a tourist and not a vacationer, is not an option.
Sand.. He's everywhere there! Children may be fine, but living in a tent there is still a test.
I liked the water, it was warm, clean, and not windy.
If you are a fanatic of insta and "make beautiful photos" then a visit is mandatory. The rest of the normal people.. Well, the lake... Well, the sand is fine and cool.
Maybe I have such an attitude that I had to drive 250 + km in one direction (we love this business), but I would have lived in Brest, maybe I would have visited more often. And so ...
in any place, the main thing is the company, we had fun, it doesn't matter where to hang out with them)
A good place to relax, swim and sunbathe. A large lake, surrounded by forest, white sand. The lake is clear, you stand waist-deep in water and see how the fish swim around you. The disadvantage is that the place is very popular, it is very crowded on weekends and it is difficult to find a place near the water.
I didn't really believe before I arrived that the sand was white, as they say everywhere, but it was straight white. It's a very healthy place. Clean water, clean beach with white sand. Fish swim right next to your feet. There are changing rooms, toilets, and trash cans. I recommend it!
The beach is pleasant, sandy. It's really beautiful. There are locker rooms, people behave calmly, there were no openly drunk people shouting "Tagil"! But the water is cold, not very clear, and the lake itself is small. The entrance is a broken primer. Therefore, it is certainly a paradise for the locals, but there is not much point in going across the country, as described in tiktok, this "miracle". That is, everything is fine, at the level of the Belarusian lakes, but not just wow!
Good evening. Last weekend, my husband and I vacationed on Lake Katashi. The impression remained twofold. On the one hand, I liked the clean lake, we settled down well with a tent. But the evening and the night were terrible. The music was blaring until 6 o'clock in the morning. It felt like the people who were vacationing there were competing to see who had the most powerful speaker. All genres of music were listened to. I really love singing, dancing and listening to music, but it was just trash!!!!! We don't go there with the tent anymore. And we also wanted to leave a 3-year-old child to spend the night. It would be better if we went to Bulkovo👎😭
It's a great place. The sand is like at the best resort.
From the first time, you can fall in love with this place with clean water, a huge amount of sand, beautiful nature and places for tents with a barbecue
Normal. Former limestone quarries. The sand is white because of this. There are plenty of manual zones, there are rescuers, you can put up a tent and a trailer. But there are no special signs on how to get there.
The beach is equipped with changing rooms.
The sand is fine, light and, which is very pleasing, clean. Visitors don't litter.
The water is clean, without turbidity, but cold even on a hot day. The coast is long and gentle. The lake itself is deep.
On a windy day, sand runs along the surface of the beach like dunes in the desert, so you will have to shake out literally everything when collecting.
There is no dedicated parking.
Nothing special, we found an article where they write about this place that it is Belarusian Ibiza, we were led to drive from Brest for an hour by car. Well, in Russia we have such an Ibiza in every district center where sand was mined and the quarry remained. I do not recommend it as a tourist attraction, just relax the locals with a nice clean pond with a sandy beach.
The beach is sandy. The sand is white. The water is clean, the entrance to the water is gentle. Beautiful view, mostly clean everywhere. But there are questions about the toilet and parking(. But despite the nuances, it's a pleasure to relax here)
