Farsta strandbad, Sand beach and bathing site in Stockholm, Sweden

Farsta strandbad is a municipal bathing site on lake Magelungen near Farsta gård in Farsta strand, Stockholm. It has a sand beach about 40 metres long with a bathing jetty and a large meadow for sunbathing. A café serving area, toilets and an outdoor shower stand by the beach.

The area around lake Magelungen has been used as a bathing spot by Farsta residents for many decades. Over the years, basic facilities were added to make the site more welcoming, turning a natural lakeshore into an organized public beach.

The beach lies by Farsta gård, a manor whose name the district Farsta strand carries; the surrounding area was built up with housing in the mid-20th century. The bathing site is municipal, run for Stockholm residents, and the lawn by the sand is used for sunbathing and ball games in summer.

The beach is on Ekshäradsgatan and can be reached by public transport or by car, with a parking lot a short walk away near the nearby sports hall. There are no changing rooms on site, so it is best to arrive already dressed for swimming or plan accordingly.

The beach's 40-metre sand strip ends at a bathing jetty, and behind it lies a large meadow used for sunbathing. The site is run by the City of Stockholm, and the lake is Magelungen, next to Farsta gård. From Farsta metro station the walk takes about ten minutes.
