Fågelöuddebadet, Public beach in Lidingö Municipality, Sweden
Fågelöuddebadet is a public bathing beach along Askrikefjärden bay with roughly 200 meters of sand. The site includes several bathing piers and diving platforms designed for swimming and water activities.
In the 1890s the area belonged to Elfviks gård, bought in 1889 by former lieutenant colonel Albert Janse, a member of the Lidingö municipal council. He and his wife Elisabeth donated the 35,000 m² site to Lidingö stad in 1932, and the bathing beach opened to the public in 1933.
The name Fågelöudde derives from the older spelling Fågelör, where "ör" meant a collection of small stones or sand. Albert Janse, a member of the Lidingö municipal council, wanted the beach used for organised swimming lessons under municipal supervision.
The beach can be reached by bus lines 204 or 211 from Ropsten station, with a stop near Fågelöuddevägen. A short walk from the stop takes you down to the beach.
A bronze plaque set on a granite stone in 1966 records the wording of the donation: Albert and Elisabeth Janse gave Fågelöudde to Lidingö city in 1932 so it would be used as an outdoor bathing place for all future generations. The stone stands within the beach area.
