Amager / Strandpark

Nice clean sea bottom - no rocks. Both at sea side and in the inner lake, it gets deeper than 2 meters after 20-60 meters out. Nice flat water in the lagoon. Just five kilometers from the center of Copenhagen you will find Amager Beach, the new city beach with enough space for all kinds of beach life. It serves a densely populated area and is extremely popular in the summer. It is a 4.6 kilometer long bathing beach divided into two parts. The beach on the mainland running along the road of Amager Strandvej and a two kilometer, man-made long island, which is connected to the mainland with three bridges. The island is divided by a point that makes it possible to give the beaches their own distinctive character. The northern part of the island has a more natural, wild beach with wide, sandy beaches and low sand dunes. A winding path takes you through the wild, northern beach down to the southern part where the city beach is. A wide pier serves as the backbone of the southern part of the island (the city beach). The pier is perfect for a nice stroll along the coast, and you can buy yourself a cup of coffee or an ice cream. The southern part of the island is rounded off with a little marina, where small boats can moor for the day. You can walk directly from the marina to the mainland, where there are two parks for recreational activities. They are called 5øren and 10øren. Works on all directions. The optimal wind conditions are: Northeast, East and Southeast. Often surfing in the inner lake is nice because of the nice flat water surface, and the ability to surf in more `offshore´ conditions. The wind tends to be gusty when coming from shore. The hardcore surfers in Copenhagen surf all year long, but the larger amount of surfers appear from April to November, depending on air temperature and sunny conditions. Usually a wetsuit is always needed, shorty during the high summer. Water: Shallow, Flat, Chop, Smallwave. Features: School, Shop, Rescue, Toilet, Food, Parking. Rider ability: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert.
