Surrounded by water, the port city of Copenhagen is peppered with beaches that are easy to reach. Amager Strandpark stands out, with a sandy beach accessible via bike and Metro 2 (yellow line) from the city centre. This large, artificial island has a lovely lagoon and is popular with windsurfers, kayakers and swimmers.
North of the cruise terminal, Svanemølle Beach has a stretch of sand that’s ideal for swimming and sunbathing. This popular urban beach boasts refreshingly cool seawater on warm summer days. Further north, fashionable Bellevue Beach has been luring Copenhagen residents since the 1930s. Look out for the quirky blue and white lifeguard towers courtesy of famous Danish designer Arne Jacobsen.
