Hökarängsbadet, Public beach at Lake Drevviken, Stockholm, Sweden.
Hökarängsbadet is a beach on the western shore of Lake Drevviken in the Farsta district of southern Stockholm. It has a roughly 60-metre-long sandy beach with a bathing jetty, a large meadow and a rocky area for sunbathing. The site also has a barbecue area, a café, toilets and an outdoor shower.
Hökarängsbadet lies on the western shore of Lake Drevviken in the Farsta district of southern Stockholm, just south of Hökarängens gård, the farm that gave the surrounding area its name. The beach itself is not documented in the sources as having a separate founding date; it appears as a lakeside bathing place serving the Farsta and Hökarängen neighbourhoods.
The beach takes its name from Hökarängen, the Farsta district on Drevviken's western shore, and the farmstead Hökarängens gård stands just north of the sand. Bathers grill at the designated barbecue spot, rinse off in the outdoor shower and buy food at the on-site kiosk, while bus 184 and 181 stop at Farsta sjukhem and Larsboda trafikplats nearby.
The beach lies on Perstorpsvägen on the western shore of Lake Drevviken in Farsta, southern Stockholm. A large car park is at the entrance. The nearest metro station is Farsta Centrum, about 1,000 metres west; bus 184 runs from Farsta to Farsta sjukhem or Larsboda trafikplats. Alternatively, take the metro to Skarpnäck, walk to Skarpnäcks gård and take bus 181 towards Farsta Strand, getting off at Farsta sjukhem or Larsboda trafikplats.
Just north of the beach stands Hökarängens gård, a former farm whose name the district of Hökarängen took; the beach itself lies in Farsta district, so the farm is the nearest historic building to the sand.
