Amager Strandpark

Amager Strandpark is Copenhagen’s designer beach. Remodeled in 2007 to serve as a comprehensive site for coastal lifestyle, the beach’s unique design caters to all facets of beach activity, whether it’s wind-surfing or short-boarding in the ‘surfer zone’, maneuvering through the sand dunes, slipping through the waves in a kayak, or taking a dive through the special underwater swimming course.

Amager is also ideal for families due to the protection from the currents and surf offered by the lagoon—formed by the two kilometer long island—allowing for a safe environment where children can splash and play. Facilities are close at hand too, with five specially designed ‘beach stations’ housing food service, showers and restrooms respectively. Special activities and events are scheduled throughout the summer, such as the Danish Championships in Beach-Volleyball, the Amager Festival and the open-air cinema, making this beach park a hive of activity and focal point for the adventurous and outdoor oriented.
