Balatonfenyves is a village atLake Balaton inSomogy county,Hungary. The name comes from the lake and the Hungarian word for pine tree:fenyves. Formerly part ofFonyód, the village was granted independence as a result of a referendum held on 12 May 1991.[2]
The area between the railroad and lake is a holiday destination that attracts mainly families staying in holiday houses. The summer weekends can be busy as people come for the day by train or car.
The pedestrian Vachott Sándor street has the shops and is the main link between the station and the beach. The train station is a stop on theSzékesfehérvár-Gyékényes line and has a smaller side station from which a (touristic)Balatonfenyves narrow-gauge railway can be taken land inward connecting theImremajor andPálmajor outskirts of the village.
The beach, the longest on the lake (about 1.8 km (1.12 mi)) and freely accessible, is a grass area with manylángos andgyros fast-food stands.
Balatonfenyves is home to the Fenyves Yacht Club in the western part of the village.
