Svanemølle Beach

Svanemølle Beach is a public bathing beach in the Østerbro district stretching roughly 130 meters along the waterfront, with a wooden pier extending into the Øresund strait. The area provides sandy sections for swimming and relaxing right at Copenhagen's edge.

The beach opened in 2010 as part of a plan to create public water recreation spaces across Copenhagen. This development marked an effort to improve public access to the waterfront in urban areas.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals spend summer days swimming, sunbathing, and meeting friends in a relaxed waterfront setting. It reflects how Copenhagen residents embrace outdoor water activities as part of their daily life.

The beach remains open year-round, though lifeguard supervision is concentrated during summer months. Visitors can access it via the coastal promenade, which connects the beach to surrounding walking paths.

The beach sits near the Øresund Bridge, which connects Denmark to Sweden, offering views of one of Northern Europe's major engineering landmarks. This location makes it a rare spot to observe the movement between two countries.
