The beach is located on the bank of the Żywiec Reservoir, a man-made lake created by the damming of the Soła River.
The site sits directly beneath the cable car ascent path for Mount Żar, a popular regional summit.
The reservoir water level fluctuates significantly depending on energy production requirements at the Porąbka-Żar pumped-storage power plant.
The location is known locally as a hub for windsurfing and sailing due to consistent thermal winds from the surrounding mountains.
Caribbean like Marina Beach and Water is a recreational area situated on the shores of Lake Żywieckie in Międzybrodzie Żywieckie, Poland.
