Sujainiai Reservoir is an official municipal bathing site
Sujainiai Reservoir Beach is in Sujainiai village, Paliepiai Eldership. The Raseiniai District general plan places the public beach on Tvenkinio Street, and the point 55.3824868, 22.9721711 on this page marks the bathing site on the southeastern shore.
Official municipal documents use the name Sujainiai Reservoir. Some navigation cards apply a different reservoir name to the same shore, so the most reliable approach is to combine the official name, Tvenkinio Street, and the coordinates provided here.
This is a village beach, not a large resort complex. Its appeal is a simple outing by the water, a green reservoir horizon, and a family-friendly recreation space, while the range of services and condition of equipment can change.
Water and beach sand are tested during the season
Raseiniai District Municipality identifies Sujainiai Reservoir as the district's bathing site and publishes a 2026 water-sampling calendar. Tests are scheduled from May through September, so check the latest result for a specific date rather than relying on an older general statement.
A separate timetable covers parasitological sand tests at both the beach and the play and sports area. This confirms that the destination is a municipally monitored recreation zone rather than an informal point beside the water.
A good earlier result cannot guarantee conditions on the day of a visit. Postpone swimming after severe rain, during unusual green water, or when a warning is posted on site, even if the reservoir otherwise looks calm.
A compact beach and play space
A modest strip of sand forms the centre of the bathing site, with a grassy recreation area behind it. The municipality's sand-monitoring table separately names the beach and a play and sports area, making the site useful for families combining swimming with activity on shore.
Bring a blanket, drinking water, and sun protection. Benches, tables, or play equipment may be occupied or temporarily unsuitable, so inspect the surface and equipment when you arrive.
The sand gives way to a more natural reservoir shore. Do not widen the beach by entering vegetation, take food waste away, and never let children approach the water alone even where the margin appears shallow.
Swimming safety still depends on the visitor
Official bathing-site status does not mean that a lifeguard is present every day. Stay within your proven swimming ability, never jump into unchecked water, and supervise children from within immediate reach.
Inflatable mattresses and other light equipment are not safety devices because wind can carry them away from shore. Leave the water during thunderstorms and enter gradually after a long period in strong sun.
Follow signs on site for dogs, fishing, barbecues, and other activities. Even where the wider shore has room, keep the beach clear for bathers and do not block the route to the water.
How to plan a visit in Sujainiai
Allow about one to three hours for swimming and a relaxed beach stop. On a hot weekend arrive earlier, leave the car only in a lawful place by the public road, and never block Tvenkinio Street or residents' entrances.
No separate admission charge or fixed beach opening hours are officially published, but temporary restrictions still apply when posted. Check the municipality's water and sand results before travelling and read information signs on site.
Official sources do not confirm wheelchair access along the entire route. A firmer approach can give way to grass or sand, so visitors who need a continuous step-free path should confirm the current access in advance.
