Guidebook for Amager
Parks & Nature
This is our local beach which is such a lovely place. In the summer you can go for a swim, rent a kayak (www.kajakhotellet.dk), play beach volley ball or just hang out. In the colder season it is less crowded and a great place to take a walk.
The easiest way down here is to go to Italiensvej, turn right and go straight ahead. Go through the tunnel under the metro and once you've passed the tunnel it is another 200 meters.

The Kastrup Sea Baths, situated off-shore in the Øresund Sound, has great views of the Saltholm Island and Sweden.
This is an architectural pearl and a truly magical place that offers good swimming opportunities with protection against the wind.
Facilities include changing rooms with showers and lockers. For those interested in taking the plunge, there are 3 as well as 5-meter diving boards on the platform. The sea is deep here and families with children are advised to swim in the shallow waters off the beach.
At night, spotlights embedded in the wooden deck create a beautiful indirect lighting effect at the Sea Baths.
