Swimming facility
Smedsuddsbadet is a popular family-friendly beach located on the southern coast of Kungsholmen island. It features a sandy swimming beach, a large lawn for sunbathing, and amenities such as showers, toilets, and a cafe. The beach is known for its spacious area and is ideal for spending an afternoon with family and friends.
The no. 1 go to for summer nights and naked swim🏊
But the water quality has dropped the last two years so. It is advised not to swim there.
Unusable bath water testThe latest test shows unsuitable bathing water. A new test will be taken.
About it:
Every year from June to August, the environmental administration monitors the water quality at the city's official beach bathing. The environmental administration takes samples for bacteria on behalf of the city districts. The samples show the presence of certain intestinal bacteria (E.coli and intestinal enterococci).
The inspector also measures the temperature of the water and checks the presence of waste and other things that can affect the bathing water quality. Sampling takes place in the same way throughout the EU.
The samples are taken at one or two fixed points at each bath, for example at the far end of the jetty and at the shallow part of the beach. They are then sent off to a laboratory for analysis.

Nice sandy beach in Stockholm. Suitable for family and all age groups.Big grass area . There is small ice cream shop available. WC available.
There is no play area for kids on the beach,but there is one big play area 400meters from the beach.
Summer days will be crowded.Near by parking in 400 meters.
There is kayak rental place around the beach.
Great little beach nestled in Kungsholmen close to where we live. Lots of space to put your stuff down. Ice cream stand and hot dogs for sale. Great to spend the afternoon with family and friends. Close to Rålis.
great place to spend a day. you can also buy some snacks/refreshments here. no changing rooms though. there are several benches to sit back and relax.
Nice place, weather was on and off but still went in the water. Very cold but once you’re in it’s good. Only bad thing but was due to a place nearby is that we got to hear some awful karaoke haha
Very nice swimming place - free, not many people and good weather temperature
Not dirty either so all good :)
Very nice beach
Calm, sandy and spacious beach. Ideal to take a dip on the hot days

Fredhällsbadet, located on the southwest of Kungsholmen with a view of summer Stockholm, offers an idyllic rocky outcrop where experienced swimmers can jump into the clear water. The spot is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and picnicking with its stunning view over Lake Mälaren. While not ideal for children due to steep rocks, it's a refreshing place for a swim on warm summer days.
Beautiful area in the summer for laying out and getting a workout in!
Alex M — Google review
Just on the right side of the harbour you will find some really nice cliff's from with you can dive in the dark water of the baltic sea. It may not look inviting but belive me in a warm summer day there is nothing better than this spot in town. Beautiful Scandinavian woman and a nice refreshing place at the water for your soul and mind
Nice cliffs for some sunbathing and maybe a swim.
Members only sauna club (not gay).
Calm and and nice area!
Great place to swim
Wow🌞🌴🍷
(Translated by Google) Fredhällsbadet is a real gem. Nice view over the water and a lovely place for sunbathing and swimming close to town.

Fredhällsbadet är en riktig pärla. Fin utsikt över vattnet och härlig plats för sol och bad nära stan.

Beach
Badplats Stora Flaten, also known as Flatenbadet, is the largest open-air bathing place in Stockholm, located in Skarpnack. The area offers a clean and family-friendly environment with various activities such as diving from the tower, swimming from the jetty, sunbathing on the beach, and playing opportunities like mini-golf and beach volleyball. Additionally, there are amenities including an outdoor gym, tennis courts, canoe rental, and petanque.
It's a really nice beach with plenty of private spots, sand and shaded areas. There is a jumping tower and a few smaller jumping places. The scenery is beautiful. Also it has a kiosk and places to change and toilets. Some people however where not conscious of their surroundings. Overall it was a great experience. Definitely recomend to check it out.

Great location, water temperature was nice, some water activities for children and play equipment. Quite a bit of rubbish though and portable toilets overflowing with waste. With a good clean up it would get 5 stars.
Packed, warm, awesome sand beach with a shop and changing rooms. The water is generally okay once you get used to it, and it also has a fun jump tower that i believe is 5 meters high.
My kids had a great time!!! You can rent a kayak and have the best time
One of the best beaches in South of Stockholm. It has a big sandy beach.
Beautiful beach with nice sand and play area for kids. Great diving place as well.
Always opened according to their time tabel .
Never been closed .
Best in service.
Best beach. Clear and still water, quite clean sand. Very crowded. Impossible to park afte 10am on weekends

Lilla Essingebadet is a charming swimming spot located on the island of Lilla Essingen, just south of Kungsholmen. It offers a convenient location for a quick dip in the water, with its jetty featuring a ladder for safe access to the deep waters. While lacking amenities such as a beach or shower, it provides a peaceful setting for sunbathing on the lawn.
(Translated by Google) There are simpler amenities. But no kiosk. Docking with a ladder makes it safe to get in and out of the water. It gets deep right away!
(Original)
Det finns enklare bekvämligheter. Men ingen kiosk. Brygga med stege gör det säkert att ta dig i och ur vattnet. Det blir djupt direkt!

(Translated by Google) Felt like the water was fresh! However, a (big!!) house is being demolished a few hundred meters away, there is a bit of a strange smell of dust and demolition...
(Original)
Kändes som att vattnet var fräscht! Dock rivs det ett (stort!!) hus några hundra meter bort, blir lite konstig doft av damm och rivning..
(Translated by Google) Very cozy, but if you're not ready to crowd the pier, I recommend looking for another place

Väldigt mysigt men om du inte är redo att trängas på bryggan så rekommenderar jag att söka dig till en annan plats

Park
Tantolunden is a bustling park in Stockholm, offering grassy lawns, jogging paths, and a sandy bay beach. It's not just your average park - it also features amenities like bicycle hire, a volleyball field, mini-golf, an open-air theater, and even options for camping and hostel stays. The area was originally designated for growing potatoes in 1915 but has since transformed into a collection of colorful cottages surrounded by beautiful gardens and orchards.
The lark itself is decent imho, but these small cottages with their own cute gardens are soooo cute and pleasant to see.
The weather and atmosphere is filled with calmness.
I recommend everybody to dedicate some time (20-30 minutes will be enough imho) and to visit this beautiful place. It’s not so far from the city centre - roughly 10 minutes going by bus

Lovely park tucked away in the southwest corner of Södermalm. Thee are lovely small cottages (private) with beautiful gardens scattered throughout the park. Mini golf, swimming, fields, playgrounds. Something for everyone but really nice stroll on a nice day
It is a great place to spend a day with family or friends, with playgrounds, a beach, a swimming area, food trucks, and of course amazing scenery.
Tanto is a very beautiful and sizeable park in the heart of Stockholm. There's a lot to see and do in just the park grounds alone, nevermind the rest of Södermalm.
You have your pick of exploring it's beautiful gardens, playing beach volleyball / minigolf / football, diving off the docks to go for a quick swim, and of course, bringing a picnic basket so you can waste the day away with good company. That's barely scratching the surface, though, and it's no wonder the park is a local hotspot during the summer.
It's a nice place in the midle downtown. It's a clean and organized place.
The park quite extensive, accessible from both the highway and the sea. It has some dedicated places for whichever games you want to play, and has some decks you can use while swimming during the summer, or other seasons if you don't mind freezing water. It has very cool bike lanes so you can enjoy biking there and afterwards join the highway or along the beach depending on where you want to go. In autumn the trees are just magnificent. Good photos have been taken here.
I went there to play frisbee golf.It's very nice, very hilly.There is only four holes one twenty meter one fifty seven meter one sixty seven meter.And I don't remember the other one.So not very far. Great views from the top
So lovely to stroll along the water and peek over the fences into the many small gardens. Beautiful 😍
There's a big playground for kids, minigolf, a small beach, and a cafe/restaurant.

The area features a lawn, sandy beach, showers, restrooms, and nearby cafes. Visitors can enjoy sunbathing on the grass or relaxing on the small sandy beach with designated swimming areas marked by buoys. Despite its narrow beaches, it is a favored spot for swimming.
Nice and quiet place. I was there in end of August and weather was still warm.
Bojan S — Google review
I loved the place! Not too crowded, everything is nearby including wc. The water is quite nice. Perfect picnic area
I heard that you shouldn't swim here because the water isn't good. So I guess it's only nice for sunbathing and relaxing.
Great spot. You can literally camp here all day with your family. They have all the facilities...showers, toilets, bins, restaurants around, fun water activities, you can bike around, water is warm
Quite a wide beach with sand so it's easier to get in the water. However it has one of the worst water quality in Stockholm, in fact swimming is not even recommended. But the scenery is great.
They also got open showers for when you get out of the water.
The beach is beautiful but normally super crowded so don’t expect a quiet time here. Got everything you need here toilets, bins, cafe and a kiosk.
Brilliant place to enjoy the beach and water. Toilets and cafe
Local get away in heart of Stockholm. Nice family friendly beach, 2 museums, 3 cafés.

Swimming facility
Brunnsviksbadet is a serene swimming spot located in the northern part of Stockholm, near Hagapark. Surrounded by lush forests, it offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city. Accessible by metro, it provides a great place to swim with its picturesque view of Hagaparken and relatively warmer water compared to the sea. The kid-friendly shore features a small pier for jumping and has minimal traffic, allowing visitors to swim and relax freely.
Great swimming spot! Super accessible, 10 minute Uber from the city centre. Easy access via the jetty or beach plus vibe and portals nearby. Great atmosphere!
Bethan M — Google review
Nice, quiet small place yo sun and swim. One pier large rnough for several groups to spread out. Some sand to build sand castles. Not too busy on the Saturday afternoon we went. Except for dog poo on the beach, which turnedme off from swimming, a nice, if small, place. The view is superb, green and peaceful. There are paths from the metro to the beach, a little hilly, so not for people with mobility problems.
Visitors have several choices, sandy beaches, rocky hills, grassy and a naturist (naked) beach. Some spots are quite crowded but by walk along the path, one might find a secluded location by the water,
I am quite like it,
Pretty and quiet beach near the botanical garden. We walked there after having lunch at the old Orangery.
The area is nice , sandy beach with nice and clean water, 200 m away is nice area on the grass where is mostly young people, no kids becauce it is only deep water. So everyone can find a good place⛱
It's a great place to swim. The view to Hagaparken is really nice. The water is not as cold as the sea too. And the walk there in the park is also beautiful. It's kid friendly as the shore is not steep, and you also have a small pier if you want to jump. The lake here has almost no traffic so you are really free to swim and relax.
Great place for chilling next to the lake and swimming. There is also a kiosk with ice-cream, food and drinks.
Such a lovely place for a summer evening when you can sit on the cliffs for a small picnic, meditation, or reading a book while watching the beautiful sunset. You can also swim by the small sand beach.

Swimming lake
Outdoor bath
The outdoor bath Tanto strandbad is a small and basic beach located in the city centre. It offers showers and restrooms, as well as a climbing wall and jumping tower.
Very beautiful park and beach. It's big so you can explore around the park. There's a hidden personal garden in this park that I loved a lot. It's a good place to walk around narrow trails and enjoy beautiful gardens. And then go to the beach and enjoy sunny days.
Zahra B — Google review
Love Tanto and people at Tanto. For them, it is never to cold to swim!
The downtown setting has it's pros and cons - the views are not the best, but it's very vibrant and friendly, with toilets and plentiful food options nearby. More importantly, it's six meters deep with a tower, so this is the site to go to if you love jumping and diving. Certainly one of my favourite swimming spots in Stockholm.
Huge place for outdoor fun and activities.. The first bridge connecting Liljeholmen and Hornstull dates back to 1669..
I had a very good time here. It is small beach but with a good bath and a nice space for pick nick and sunbath.
Best place in Södermalm during summertime.
After several months of winter, feeling summer from the beach is a real delight. Tanto strand is not super big, but it is a good option to have a good time. Always crowded. Bring your towel and enjoy the sunshine and water. You can for sure find something to eat or snack. Happy summer!!!!
Wonderful beach - small, safe and for kids.
Well connected with bussar from Hornstull
Small eat outs nearby.
Good for an hour or two.

Fågelöudde is a beautiful beach located in Lidingo, offering various facilities for a fun day by the water. It features ample parking and can also be accessed by public transport. The beach provides amenities such as a BBQ spot, sandy beach, mini-golf, diving platform, and kayak self-rental station.

We love it here! Lots of nature, plenty of space, nice sand beach, playground and a good restaurant. Easy to park.

Gorgeous location with clean water to swim in. It's not super crowded either.
Really beautiful, relatively clean beach with a neat lawn, a diving tower, a small pier, benches for picknick, a playground and a kayak self-rental station.
Beautiful beach. Great place to take the kids.
I think it is the best beach in Lidingö
Nice and kids friendly beach ⛱️. Just missed change cabin and wc :)
Good place with nice view to relax!
Best place for summer swims!

Nature & Parks
Hagaparken is a stunning and expansive park situated on the picturesque western shore of Brunnsviken, just north of Stockholm's bustling city center. This enchanting landscape garden showcases a blend of lush lawns, serene woodlands, and open spaces adorned with remarkable architectural features. Among these are the Echo Temple, a charming Chinese pavilion, and an intriguing Turkish kiosk—all commissioned by King Gustav III during his reign.
Such a nice and extensive park with many different paths, gates, beaches, monuments. If you want access to nature while being in Stockholm, look no further. Lots of people exercising, reading on the grass. Very good atmosphere.
Stanislas T — Google review
I love this park. It’s beautiful, big enough for runs, amazing scenery, and very peaceful. Gets busy on weekends but evening runs are just lovely here! There are cafes scattered around too :)
Amazing place for a morning walk!
I came here around 8:15 on a Saturday and it's a pleasant place to for a nice walk looking at the lake, buildings around it. The path is also wide and you can see many people jogging. There is also a free toilet (well maintained) ! I went out around 11:15 or so to grab my lunch.
Overall a beautiful place for a 2-3hr relaxation. And, when it's sunny, its even more worthwhile !
A central city park,well maintaned, it is a fantastic oasis/escape, amazing scenery, and very peaceful. It boasts a butterfly museum and art installation, water inlet (its not actually a lake) and even has a small beach.
Amenities include paid parking, toilets and at least 2 cafes.
Cafes however, are a little overpriced, so could be an idea to bring a picknic/drinks. Parking by yet another of Stockholms multiple parking apps (I wished there was just 1).
A very cosy and popular park amongst Stockholmers and visitors alike, for walks/strolls/jogging and is free and open all year around.
What a beautiful park this is! In summer, it's lush and green all around—an ideal spot for picnics and spending quality time with friends or family. This is actually my second visit; the first time was in winter when the trees looked quite lifeless. Seeing the seasonal transformation has been amazing. I haven’t explored the aquarium yet—I’ve deliberately saved it for a future visit, giving myself a reason to return again and again.
Wow, we enjoyed it.. One nice walk around the park. We visited the aquarium and garden, drank coffee and ate cake. It was a great, wonderful afternoon. We recommend it.
Incredible park. We were there for autumn with beautiful autumn nature and incredible sunsets
Beautiful outdoor park with royal charm!
Hagaparken is one of the nicest parks in Stockholm — perfect for a relaxing walk, picnic, or jog by the water. There’s plenty of green space, impressive historic buildings, and peaceful views around Brunnsviken. Great for families, couples, or solo visitors.
🍽️ We also enjoyed a nice meal at the nearby Haga Forum restaurant, which had a cozy atmosphere and good food (check if it’s open, as it sometimes closes seasonally).
Highly recommended if you’re in Solna or just want a peaceful escape from the city!

There is workshops also.
Ivana M — Google review
Beautiful island and nice small restaurants on,
2 to 3 hours on the island are definitely enough if you’ve not planned to swim or stay and chill out as the main island is quite small
Beautiful small island to visit !
Boat from Slussen both ways 170sek per person, 25min.
Few restaurants and cafe. We ate in the first one that has beers. Very good food but seats are very less during the rush hours. Röda Villan restaurant looks very nice setting, can’t say about food though.
The island has so many nice spot to enjoy the sea view. Small Viking boats and nice small handmade boutiques.
Be careful with the seagulls, during May-June, they are very protective with their small babies, they could poke you.
A lot of people in a tiny island on a sunny day.
I definitely recommend it.
Definitely worth a visit during the summer
A small island with great views. A coffee Shop, a souvenir shop, if you want to visit you rather have some runners( not sandals) they are lots of stones, ups and downs around the island. Really quiet place you can drink a beer and have a nice tanning. I also put some pictures from the way to the island with nice buildings and a nice monument on the water.
Awesome little island to day trip to from Stockholm! We watched this cute baby seagull get fed by it’s mama. Even though the weather didn’t hold up (it rained a lot of the day) we still got in the water and it wasn’t (toooo) cold. I can’t wait to come back on a nice day
It’s ok but there is nowhere to swim really.
Not worth 195kr pp.
Nice and small island, 30min far from city by ferry. Perfect to spend a sunny day over there.

The pools are full. Hot day, open space, no shades.This IS from The 80's? I had no lock since I am a tourist. No toilet paper. I would want to have some shade. You could do better!
Very nice and clean swimming space. Nearest metro line is Skanstull. You can go to this place if you enjoy swimming and want to experience it in a clean and nice environment. One can google more about it. The surrounding areas are very soothing and nice and a great nature walk is around , in the evening it looks so beautiful outside this area is a good watch.
A great recreational complex with an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and several exciting slides for teens and children. My friends and I really enjoyed having fun at this place, and I only hope they pay more attention to cleanliness. Another positive aspect is that there are a variety of restaurants nearby. After the pool, we went to Tacobar Hammarby, which had excellent food at reasonable prices. My younger siblings were very happy and ate a lot.
Why are there no lifeguards monitoring the behavior and safety of people (including children) visiting this public pool? I often see staff aimlessly drifting around doing...what? Today, one staff member was vacuuming the picture frames in the entrance. Apparently, that is a higher priority than public safety. When there is an incident, they will be forced to change but prevention is better. Apart from this issue, the pools appear to be well maintained.
This is a SMALL KIDS’ PARENT review.
Outside area.
It's not the kind of place that is worth traveling to, but it's amazing if you live nearby. I love that there is a toddler/small kids area. It includes a 25cm deep swimming pool and playground. Parents of small children can take a breath and relax for a while. There are two small kiosks for fast food, coffee ice cream. You can bring your food with you as well. There are changing rooms, inside and outside showers, lockers, and toilets. Very nice place for kids. Good temperature water in the pools and the showers. Reasonable prices.
GOT MY SHOES STOLEN.
My shoes and socks were stolen while I was inside, had to leave barefoot on a cold October evening. Security is clearly a joke.
Also, this place is advertised as an aqua park, but it's just a regular swimming pool. No slides, and the two hot tubs were always full. Total disappointment. Avoid it.
Good swimming pool, but full of thieves/pickpockets.
Good infrastructure reasonable price. The staff is usually quite helpful and friendly, unless you are unlucky and come on a week-end when it’s packed with people.
But I am downgrading as in the past two months, 50% of times I was there something was stolen from me… the place is totally infested of pickpockets. So I will probably stop going there now.

Hornsbergs strand, situated on the northern side of Kungsholmen, offers a unique waterfront experience.

Favourite places in Stockholm to go for a walk or run during summer and winter! Great views and a touch of nature right next to the busy streets of the city centre!
Salla S — Google review
Love running around Brunnsviken! In total from Vasastan it is 13km trip around. Great place to walk around and enjoy some fresh air and nature.
Amazing place for jogging. Recreational area at the heart of Stockholm.
Beautiful and peaceful.
Summer or winter, this place is very beautiful. You always find people jogging around this lake most of the time. In some places around the lake, you will find chair to sit and rest. The lake is around 13km and people can use this place to practice for marathon. Near lake you will find lots of trees and it will feel like walking into the woods.
There are some Rocky beaches around this lake. They are quite good for sunbathing and the water in this lake is clean so it's safe to swim too!!
Favorite place to go during the summer or winter. For a walk, a swim or kayak/sup.
It’s my go to place, as it’s near my home.
Great views, super chill vibes.
Very nice area for walking, cycling and recreation in general. Close to nature. Lake, forests, meadows. Both in summer and in winter.

Good place for going out and spend some quality time in the beach with your family.
Tons of fun!
Kanaanbadet is a public beach by the lake Mälaren. The beach is not far west of Blackeberg in the Hässelby-Vällingby area and is a part of Grimsta nature reserve. The biblical name Kanaan was used for the first time in around 1730 and comes from an old croft that was built on the beach
Great beach but to get there from the nearest bus stop you need to walk more than 1 km. Easy if you’re by car
Lovely spot. Not a beach though.. more like a lake
Best beach I have been in Stockholm area! Love it, big, sandy, a good place to play, kids love it!
Descent place for swimming or picnic but not easily accessible.
Great place for a swim, for reading or for just relaxing. Chill vibes and good people

The beach features both shallow and deep waters, making it suitable for families with children. Visitors can enjoy the large grass lawn, wooden benches for sunbathing, and three jetties for easy access to the water.
Small little badet for summer. It is not beach but you can take dip in water and sit near shore. The main attraction is path way near this it is too peaceful and scenic. You can walk sit on that path way and enjoy the sun in summer.

Cozy place to swim and sunbathing. Located near tvärbana station (Stora Essingen). There are public toilets (without water). The beach has shallow and deep part, so kids can play and take a dip too. It has several wood benches for you to lay and sunbath. Surprisingly not crowded, so it's cozy and nice I must say :)
A beach located on the residential area of Stora Essingen. Three jetties, large grass lawn and toilets. Bus number 1 takes you all the way, get off at "Flottbrovägen".
Very nice and cosy place. You can do swimming, barbecue and relax by the water. Public grill spot is available.
Great seating, afternoon / early evening sun, a barbecue spot at the top of the terraced hill, and generally quite warm water.
Nice outdoor swimming area with grassy area to soak up the sun and some fixed wooden sun decks. Trashcans to keep the area clean.
Nice area to go for a walk! It is not the cleanest place to swim and it is a bit deep but it works!
It's a very beautiful place for summer

Lake
Sicklasjön, located at the foot of Stockholm's skiing hill in Sickla, offers several spots along its north side for a refreshing swim. This natural lake is popular among residents and triathlon swimmers due to its lack of boat traffic. The warm water makes it ideal for swimming early in the season, although some find the water quality less than perfect. In winter, visitors can enjoy ice skating or cross-country skiing if there's snow.
(Translated by Google) Natural lake that is king and has good bathing water. In winter, you can often go ice skating or cross-country skiing if it snows.

Naturfin sjö som är kung och har bra badvatten. På vintern kan man ofta åka skridskor eller längdskidor om det snöat.

The lake has no boat traffic making it very popular with residents and triathlon swimmers. There are several pontoons spread on the borders of the lake.
(Translated by Google) It gets warm early in the lake so good to swim in but the water is not very nice. There are several piers along the northern shore.
(Original)
Det blir varmt tidigt i sjön så bra att bada i men vattnet är inte så väldigt fint. Det finns flera bryggor längs med norra stranden.
(Translated by Google) Wonderful all year round, don't forget to take a walk up to the top of Hammarbybacken and admire the fantastic view

🏖️ Sätrabadet – A Hidden Gem by Lake Mälaren
Nestled in the tranquil Sätrastrandsbadet area of Skärholmen, Stockholm, Sätrabadet offers a delightful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. This family-friendly beach is renowned for its pristine environment, diverse amenities, and welcoming atmosphere.
Clean and maintained beach. You can go with your family and kids and stay for a whole day on a fine sunny day access to this beach is bit longer by walk. From Sätra station it's 1.8 km and from Skarholman statio.
Lovely place to vidit all year round. But avoid summers as its crowded and noisy. Visit before sunset as it faces the west.the is a sauna which requires booking.and its mixed.
Very good swim place. There’s toilets and change room, playground. The beach is nice and water clean. There’s a hiking track that goes all along the sea it is a very promenade avec to do with different BBQ spot on the way.
Nice place to visit on a sunny day
It's good for the kids. Shallow water, accessibility ramp and a deck to jump from. There are decent toilets - which is helpful with the kids. There is a cafe, fun golf 🏌, outdoor gym and a playground. The surroundings are truly nice in case you like to go for a walk. The downside is all the birds that circulates the beach and pollute it.
Beautiful and clean beach. You can take your kids there. They will love the place. It is better to bring an extra dress if you visit there in summer.
Changing room available. Parking available.

Swimming facility
Trekantens strandbad, located on the western side of Lake Trekanten in Liljeholmen, is a peaceful oasis near the center of Stockholm. It's a popular spot for families and couples with children to enjoy swimming and sunbathing during hot summer days. The beach features fine sand and a grass-covered area surrounded by a forest, providing plenty of shade. While there are no permanent toilet facilities, there are outdoor toilets available.
This beach is a true peaceful oasis near the center of the Stockholm city.
During the hot summer days, there are customers, including children. You can also see a lot of couples with their babies. Pleasant surroundings where you can come to bathe and sunbathe.
The coast crossed by the hiking trail is covered with fine sand, the terrain above is covered with grass and everything is surrounded by a forest where you can find shade.
The only drawback is that there is no toilet.
All in all, a good recommendation for hot summer days.

🤢🤮Very poorly maintained beach, dirty with duck droppings in such quantities as to attract lots of midges and flies. a sewage smell and the strong and tangible sensation that there is a risk of contamination in the water and risk of infection. totally rejected.👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Nice, but small, beach with fairly clear water. Child-friendly, port-a-potty in season and an open shower. No accessible parking. Hotdog stand on weekends.
Nice place for Kids and parents to go swimming
Livley place to play in water, good for walk n jog connects to Liljeholmen and cool place to hangout
Small beach but very pretty, there is grass space around to lay down in the sun.
Trekantens strandbad - Trekanten local beach, at lake Trekanten. Liljeholmen.
A nice local beach, where many families in the nearby areas Liljeholmen, Gröndal, Aspudden go in the summer.
Two outdoor toilets.
Unfortunatelý the small icecream-kiosk, with coffee etc is closed and the small house taken down.
Bring your own picknic, or coffee/tea-basket.
Within 15 min's walk from the Undergroundstation Liljeholmen.
The lake is very appreciated by locals, as a recreation area, for picknics, walks, jogging around the lake, families with either prams or dogs, or barbecues. Also two smaller playgrounds on the way. First at start by Liljeholmen, then a little further away along the pedestrian-/bicycle-road.
Enjoy! :)
Nice place.

Hellasgården, nestled in the Nacka Nature Reserve just a short bus ride from Stockholm's city center, offers a perfect escape into nature. This recreational area boasts picturesque paths, bike trails, and a small beach where visitors can swim in the lake or even go cross-country skiing during winter. The lakeside sauna is an essential part of Nordic culture and provides a unique experience for visitors to sweat out their stress. Additionally, the charming restaurant serves traditional Swedish dishes by an open fire.
Had an amazing experience at Hellasgården! I did a 15 km hike through beautiful, varied nature forest paths, lakeside views, and peaceful surroundings the whole way. Even though it was a long walk, it never felt boring. The trails are well maintained and the atmosphere is super relaxing. Finished the hike with a coffee by the lake, which was the perfect end to the day. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced hikers looking to escape the city for a while!

Hellasgården is a nature gem practically in Stockholm’s backyard. It gracefully combines forest, lake, activities, and Swedish outdoor traditions all in one spot. Whether you’re running, paddling, skiing, or simply unwinding by the lake
, Hellasgården delivers a restorative experience grounded in friluftsliv. Definitely worth a visit for families, fitness lovers, or anyone craving fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Hiking trails with stunning view. We chose the yellow dot trail, which is a challenging 5km route around the lake. Had to climb to the top with some rocky trails in the middle. But the beginning and the end is quite flat and easy to walk. We took about 2hr with many stops, rest, and taking pictures in between. Really nice place to visit for a walk and be in nature in summer.
One of the beautiful lakes in Stockholm.
You can walk around the lake.
Have a couple of restaurants, so you can sit and enjoy fika.
This time the lake was completely frozen and ready for skating.
I was there for hiking around the lake. As usual in Stockholm, it was beautiful. I was sitting in Hellasgården for a shirt rest. That was good. I saw sauna and people jumping into cold water.
Great to have a place like this so close to the city. Fantastic for a quick escape with lots of activities for all ages and preferences throughout the year.
Very cozy way to do icebathing and sauna!
Although I'd like the showers in the changing room to have hot water (you couldn't really regulate the temperature and the water was cold, and I personally like to take a hit shower after I'm done with the sauna and ice bathing)
Booked a sauna time slot a Saturday morning. Location is beautiful and the changing rooms, sauna and spaces around them are clean and well kept. The changing room layout (ladies) is not ideal as a row of lockers are placed directly inside/in front of the entrance door. This means you risk being exposed (to people outside the changing room) while undressing when someone enters.
Service (at the sauna) also leaves something to be desired, as is often the case in the Stockholm area with "unique" locations. We were met with an uninterested look, very limited information and a bare minimum level of assistance. Too bad.

Beach
The Solvikbadet beach in Stockholm is one of the most beautiful and popular beaches in Sweden. It has fine sand, a relaxing atmosphere, clean toilets close by and a small park at the beach. The facilities are good for families with small children.
Start your hike OR run here...with some warm up....and end it with a dip in the GREAT lake

Peapole never swim in baltic sea. Boat broke up far and the oil come to beach. I told one guy next to me boat oil he say it was nothing. Big black color was visible seen and peapole swimmed inside boat oil. Put peapole are beatiful its good place to come and just to communicate with peapole there. Baltic sea for swimming should get -5 stars. Put I go there time to time just to communicate with peapole.
Baby beach in Stockholm! Fine sandy lake-beach in a relaxed atmosphere. with clean toilet next to it. Kiosk with toasts, panini, fries and drinks. Small park at beach and bigger park next by. The perfect beach for families with small children.
Beautiful beach with good facilities 👍
Great sandy beach in Stockholm. Perfect for spending a sunny day with family. Also has a small kids area nearby.
Best beach in Stockholm. Pretty crowded on hot days though, and shadow covers the beach relatively early due to the surrounding hills and trees.
Nice little beach in Bromma, Stockholm. You can spend nice family time during weekends. Bring some food and coffee, listen to music, enjoy the nature and relax.
I want to give it 1 star so no one comes and I can have it to myself. But I like this little beach. So gotta show my love with the 5 stars. Also a little hut here that sells ice cream and food. Outdoor gym too if you want to workout before jumping in the water. They also have a floating dock with a diving board which is fun.
Island
Reimersholme is a popular spot near Stockholm, located next to Sodermalm. It's known for its beach, which attracts a large crowd and offers the chance to spot local celebrities. The area holds sentimental value for many, as it has been a quiet oasis on Sodermalm since the mid-1980s and was once part of the Brannkyrka parish.
Lived there for 3 weeks and its a gorgeous little spot in the middle of the city.

Fantastic, a bit crowded though
Beautiful lake. In winter people will skate on this lake. During summer or autumn, a good place to have a picnic. The trail from Bagarmossen tunnelbana (subway) station to Hellasgården is also cool
Beautiful place for the summer. Go there by bike or walk or by jog. Nice waterfront to do swimming.
My go to place in the summer, there’s ice cream next to the golf course!
Perfect place to have a walk and take some pictures
Beautiful nature, nice hiking around the lake area
Beautiful 💚
Water
Liljeholmsviken, located on the western side of Tantolunden Park, offers a choice between a traditional sandy beach and rocky areas. Visitors can take in stunning views of Stockholm from the water's edge.
A top place to visit, beautiful shores, promenades... located between Liljeholmen and Hornstull... Everything what you need is so close, shoping centres, restaurants, shops, fast foods, beauty, hair and make up studios, hotels, city center, metro itc...
The best view is at night from the nearby bridges.
If you are staying nearby, this is a location that is really worth visiting.

Mentioned on
Transport hub
Slussen, located in Stockholm, offers a glimpse into the region's glacial history. As the ice sheet that once covered northern Europe melted over ten thousand years ago, the land has been gradually rising due to post-glacial rebound. In Stockholm, this uplift occurs at an average rate of 5 millimeters per year, resulting in a significant change in the coastline over time. Visitors can explore traces of the Ice Age and witness how this natural phenomenon has shaped the area's landscape.
