Brunnsvikens strandbad, Public swimming area in Frescati Hage, Sweden
Brunnsvikens strandbad is a public swimming area on the southeastern shore of Lake Brunnsviken, featuring a sandy beach about 50 meters long. Rocky sections and grass areas line the water's edge, creating different spots for sunbathing and entering the water.
The site sits within Ekoparken, which became Sweden's first national urban park in 1995 to protect its natural and recreational value. This designation secured the area's future as a green space for public enjoyment and environmental conservation.
The beach is one of Stockholm's 31 official city swimming spots, and the city runs it together with the Kungliga Djurgårdens förvaltning. Just north of the bathing area lies a separate nudist section, a feature bathers notice along this stretch of Brunnsviken.
The beach offers basic facilities during summer months and is easily accessible for casual visits without much planning needed. Dogs are prohibited from June through August, except for service animals that accompany visitors.
Just north of the beach there is a separate nudist bathing area, a detail many visitors miss. The beach is managed jointly by the City of Stockholm and the Royal Djurgården Administration, and its bathing water is classified as excellent. A handrail leads down into the water.
