Smedsuddsbadet V,, Waterfront recreational area in Kungsholmen, Stockholm, Sweden.
Smedsuddsbadet V is a swimming area along Lake Mälaren with a sandy beach, grassy spaces for sunbathing, and a pier with water entry ladders. The site features accessible pathways, marked swimming zones, and safety equipment for visitors.
Smedsuddsbadet opened on 21 June 1973, inaugurated by city commissioner Thorsten Sundström. Its creation followed improved water quality in eastern Lake Mälaren after wastewater treatment began at Eolshälls reningsverk in the early 1960s, making the Riddarfjärden shore fit for bathing by the early 1970s.
The yellow wooden villa on Smedsudden houses a café in summer and is also the base of a canoe club. Bathers use the small sandy beach, the lawn and the boat jetty beside Västerbron, with changing rooms, toilets and two outdoor showers on site. Across Riddarfjärden lies Långholmen and its own beach, Långholmsbadet.
Smedsuddsbadet lies by Riddarfjärden next to Västerbron, about a 10-minute walk from the Fridhemsplan metro station. Besides the small sandy beach there is a boat jetty, a lawn, changing rooms and toilets for women and men, and two outdoor showers. In summer the yellow wooden villa on Smedsudden serves coffee and houses the canoe club.
Smedsuddsbadet opened on 21 June 1973, inaugurated by city commissioner Thorsten Sundström. Its creation followed the cleanup of eastern Lake Mälaren: wastewater treatment, including the Eolshäll plant at the start of the 1960s, improved water quality enough within a decade to allow the beach to be built.
