• Lifeguards in peak summer from Jun 23 to Aug 31, 10am-6pm, when the separate men's and women's sections open; the rest of the season has no lifeguard on duty
• Step-free into the sea, with a railed bathing path, a lift on the jetty run by the lifeguards, and a floating beach wheelchair to borrow
• Check the water first: the city's bathing water warning at badevand.dk shows water quality and weather for the day

Helgoland is a sea bath on the shore of Amager Strandpark, where kids swim in open seawater from a jetty rather than wading in off the sand. In lifeguard season, separate men's and women's sections open too.

A railed path leads down into the water, and the lifeguards lend a floating beach wheelchair. The first Helgoland opened in 1913 at Svanemølle Bay; this one dates from 2008.
