Bellevue

Copenhagen's Most Visited Beach

Description

The most popular and most visited beach near Copenhagen, this is a perfect place for swimming and sunbathing. It is situated not far from Dyrehaven, and you can see the forest if you swim out from the coast a bit. Take the scenic drive from the centre along Strandvejen to Klampenborg and admire the huge, expensive villas. Highlights of Danish Modernism are the Bellevue houses by Arne Jacobsen, overlooking the beach. In the summer Bellevue is like flypaper, as popular amongst families with children or the young, rich and beautiful, as among volleyball players and bodybuilders. The water is, generally speaking, clean. On Øresund a rich sailing life is led all year round, on huge sailboats and elegant kayaks. Bellevue is also worth visiting in autumn, winter and spring. To get there, take bus number 6 or the S-train to Klampenborg.
