Once in Lierna walking might be your best option. The town is not large and most beaches are a short walk from the Piazzetta Castiglioni. The swimming in Riva Bianca beach is worldclass and the lake beautifully clean,there are many tiny beach areas.

Once again, should you be fortunate enough to have a boat at your disposal, that would be another convenient way to move around the area. There are rentals available in the harbor of Riva Nera beach baia.
