Kastrup sea bath

This beautiful structure, known as 'the snail' (but you could also call it 'the pastry'), is set at the far end of Amager Strand Park, 20 minutes from Copenhagen, and is a magical place to swim. Swim in the Öresund and enjoy a fantastic view of Saltholm and Sweden, before drying off and sunbathing in this sheltered spot.

The Harbour Bath, Aarhus

The world's largest harbour baths are right here in Aarhus! Like a lot of Denmark's harbour baths, this one was designed by Bjarke Ingels Group. It includes a rectangular 50-metre-long swimming pool, a circular diving pool, square children’s pools and two saunas. Take a walk on the elevated plank walkway, which doubles as a viewing platform overlooking the pools and water beyond.

Hou Harbour Bath

With a view all the way to Sweden, this nearly natural swimming place is a perfect chance for a swim in the sea. The bath was specifically created with the wheelchair-bound in mind, meaning that there are amenities for a physically disabled person to have a safe yet freeing swim.
