55.7770° N, 12.5910° ECrowd A clothing-optional beach with no particular gay crowd. Families, couples and regulars. Go for the sun and the swim, not the scene.
Getting there
S-train to Klampenborg, then a two-minute walk. The informal clothing-optional area is at the northern end.
The rules
Tolerated. Not designated, but going without swimwear has been the custom for years and is left alone. Rules and patrols can change, so read the signs when you arrive.
No photos of anyone, sunscreen everywhere, cover up the moment you leave the clothing-optional stretch, and head home with the light. Sunbathe, swim and keep the beach respectful for everyone.

Status says what the law and the locals allow; crowd says who is on the sand. Both come from gay-travel guides, the national naturist federations and members who were just there, scored on sources, recency, crowd, legal footing and safety. How we rank. Pins mark the beach; the gay end is described above. Last reviewed September 2026.
