Rwanda, Africa
Visitors enjoy Gisenyi beach in Rwanda’s Rubavu district, on the shores of Lake Kivu, a large freshwater lake on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Rwanda, the beaches are open to everyone year-round, so many people cross the border from DRC, where there are fewer open beaches.
