• Lifeguards in high summer, on duty 10am to 6pm from late June to August; check the day's water quality on badevand.dk before a swim
• Five beach stations on the island with toilets and kiosks; the showers work mid-May to mid-September and close for winter
• Dog-free sand in summer: from May 1 to Aug 31 dogs keep to the paths on the beach island, and must be leashed everywhere in the park

The city's largest beach stretches 4.6 km along an artificial island, with a lagoon between the island and the original shore. Five beach stations have toilets and kiosks, linked by concrete paths.

Kids swim in the summer bathing zone, and families can rent kayaks, canoes or paddleboards at the southern end. Grilling is allowed anywhere in the park, and the Naturcenter Amager Strand opens to all on weekends.
