Amager Strand Beach
Lapping waves, beach volley and life on the esplanade? Just minutes from the centre of Copenhagen by Metro.
With the new Amager Strand Beach having been inaugurated, this is now a reality. Amager Strand Beach consists of the beach along the coastal road, Amager Strandvej, a lagoon, an island and the two parks 10-øren and 5-øren (the Danish 10 Øre and 5 Øre coins). The island is 2 km long and the lagoon is 400 metres at its widest point. Beach stations have been sited in the middle of the island; these are concrete buildings with toilets, refreshment kiosks and so on. These beach stations also act as lookout and vantage points, providing a fantastic view of the large vessels plying the Øresund Sound and Øresund Bridge or the planes preparing to land in Kastrup. The new island has been bisected, so that in the north you encounter a landscape of sand dunes, only to find more park-like grounds in the south.
