Erstaviksbadet

Erstaviksbadet is a sand beach in Saltsjobaden with light-colored shores that stretch along a tree-lined coastline. Dense pine forests reach down to the water's edge, creating a setting where woodland and beach meet.

The beach emerged as Saltsjobaden developed into a residential town in the 1800s and the shoreline became publicly accessible. A natural coastline gradually transformed into a popular swimming destination for the expanding local community.

The beach serves as a gathering place where local families spend their summer days swimming and relaxing together. People come here to enjoy outdoor time in a setting that has long been part of the region's leisure traditions.

The beach is just a short walk from the train station and easy to reach by public transportation. Access is straightforward and the location is well set up for visitors.

Pine needles and cones scatter across parts of the sand, creating an unusual blend of forest and beach character at this location. This interplay of nature creates a feeling rarely found at other Scandinavian swimming spots.
