Dragør Søbad Strand
You step off the bus into a warren of half-timbered houses painted saffron and rust, their slate roofs slanting toward the water. Two blocks later, the Øresund opens up—shallow, tepid in July, and edged by a grassy promenade where locals spread wool blankets and unpack rye bread. Sweden's coast hovers on the horizon.
