Sandy beaches
There are a couple of public beaches not to far from Copenhagen city centre. It's easy to get there by the local S-train. But you should know that going swimming Danish and Scandinavian style means no chairs or parasols for rent (sun is too precious here). But on the other hand, the water is clean and the sand is white. And the shallow Øresund makes it perfect for allowing your kids go in the water. Water temperature is between 18 and 20 degree C during summer.
Amager Beach Park is the beach closest to Copenhagen (5 km). This almost 5 km long bathing beach faces Oresund and the coast of Sweden. The beach is divided in two parts – one on the mainland, and one on the 2 km long island. The lagoon in between is shallow, which makes it perfect for children.
Helgoland Baths, which was here since 1913 are demolished now, but in the new facilities a nudist bath is still allowed. Separate departments for ladies and for gentlemen. Entrance fee.
Take metro to one of those stations: Øresund, Amager Strand or Femøren (travel time: 7 minutes), or bus #12.
Bellevue Beach, 10 km north of Copenhagen, near Bakken, is usually very crowded. But you'll love the white sand and the clear blue water. Nearby, there is also Charlottenlund Strandpark.
S-train to Klampenborg Station (or to Charlottenlund Station for the Strandpark); bus #14 to Charlottenlund.
