Hvalstrand bad

Hvalstrand Bad is a beach facility on the coast of Asker featuring a large sandy beach, grassy grounds, a floating platform, and three diving towers at different heights. The site offers multiple swimming and diving options with varying difficulty levels.

The facility opened in 1934 and became an important part of the region's beach culture from that time onward. Its restaurant building reflects French functionalist design from the 1930s era and received restoration work in 1996 to maintain its original character.

The beach serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors host summer celebrations, weddings, and community meetings throughout the year. People come together here for social occasions that the grounds can accommodate for up to 500 participants.

The facility operates from 07:00 to 23:00 with parking available during the summer season at an additional cost. Water quality meets Blue Flag certification standards and the site includes specialized amenities for visitors with mobility needs.

The facility features a specialized ramp and a designated swimming area specifically designed for visitors with reduced mobility. These amenities make it one of the few beach venues in the region offering this level of accessibility.
