'Strandbad' (lido / beach swimming area) is a compound word made up of 'der Strand' (the beach) and 'das Bad' (the bath/swimming facility). It therefore refers to a place for swimming that is located at a beach.
Das Strandbad hat einen schönen Sandstrand und eine große Liegewiese.
The lido has a beautiful sandy beach and a large sunbathing lawn.
Pay attention to the prepositions: You go 'ins Strandbad' (to the lido; accusative, direction), but you are or swim 'im Strandbad' (at/in the lido; dative, location).
Morgen gehen wir bei dem guten Wetter ins Strandbad.
Tomorrow, with the weather being so good, we're going to the lido.
A 'Strandbad' (lido / beach swimming area) is often associated with certain activities and costs. Typical verbs are 'besuchen' (to visit), 'Eintritt bezahlen' (to pay admission), or 'sich sonnen' (to sunbathe).
Für dieses Strandbad muss man Eintritt bezahlen.
