Amager Strandpark
You step off the Metro at Amager Strand and cross the wooden boardwalk, wheeling your bike past families unfolding blankets on butter-colored sand. The lagoon stretches glassy and knee-deep for hundreds of meters, warm enough for toddlers, while kite surfers chase wind beyond the barrier island.

Is Amager Strandpark safe for swimming and suitable for children?
Amager Strandpark is generally safe for swimming with lifeguards on duty during summer months. The beach features a shallow lagoon area specifically designed for families with children, offering calm, protected waters ideal for young swimmers. The water quality is regularly monitored and typically meets EU standards. However, check posted flags and signage before entering the water. The sandy bottom and gradual depth make it particularly child-friendly, though supervision is always recommended. Facilities include changing rooms, toilets, and nearby cafes.
When is the best time to visit Amager Strandpark?
The best time to visit Amager Strandpark is during late spring through early autumn (May to September) when temperatures are warmest and facilities are fully operational. June through August offers the warmest weather for swimming, though these months can be crowded on sunny weekends. For fewer crowds while still enjoying pleasant conditions, visit in May or September. Weekday mornings are quieter than weekends. Since Copenhagen's summer days are long, evening visits can be magical with beautiful sunsets over the Øresund strait.
