About
Fatti rapidi: Spray of salt in the air and soft, fine-grained sand that makes the beach perfect for long walks or runs along the waterline. Winter swimmers jump into the cold water year-round, and many come to combine a dip with the sauna's warmth afterwards.
Punti salienti: The sound of wind and waves mixes with the scent of burnt wood from the sauna, a contrast that becomes especially clear on a windy spring evening when the sky shifts in pink and yellow. A local custom is that several dozen winter swimmers gather at the pier on Saturday mornings, they take three quick dips and warm their hands around the thermos before the city wakes.
Insider tips
- Bring a windproof layer and shoes for wet sand, wind from the Öresund can be chilly even on warm days.
- Head east from the busy central stretch toward the dunes for quieter spots and better space for picnics.
- Take photos near Ribersborgs Kallbadhus and the wooden piers at sunrise for calm reflections and Turning Torso views.
- Avoid weekend afternoons on the main promenade, visit early morning or weekday evenings to dodge crowds.

4.0Went with kids at 3pm, busy but manageable. Playground and shallow water were great, lifeguards on duty. Parking costs a bit.
Evening visit around 9pm, lively and crowded with music from nearby bars. Not ideal for swimming, no entry fee but bring bug spray.
Arrived at 7am, almost empty and perfect for a quiet swim and sunrise. Free to enter, but the beach cafe is a bit pricey.
