VERY kids friendly city beach in the middle of the new residential area in the southern part of Islands Brygge. Oasis with child-friendly harbor pool, sandy beach and nature planting. Very shallow water, child friendly, safe. Delicious cafe Nöa'h is located next to the beach. Gets a feeling of being in the middle of a beach oasis - but you are in the middle of the city. Fun and different bathing experience. Exciting to explore the new neighbourhood that is being built and several places are finished.

Klydesøen Kalvebod Fælled badebro:
Far out on Kalvbod Fælled, after crossing forest, and bird sanctuaries and where you can only get to either on foot or by bike, you end up at the end of Amager with a view of the Sound. On the entire stretch of coast there is a dam that makes it impossible to swim, but right out at Søndre Pumpe station, a bathing bridge with a plateau has been built into the water. The water is surprisingly delicious, clean and lagoon-like. It is a fun experience to transport yourself through nature the long way and get to the little oasis. There is a lot of exciting things to do at Kalvebod Fælled, so bring your packed lunch and spend a whole day there. Look at the dams, read about the story behind, go exploring in the Pentecostal forest and watch birds.
